I have brain burning and there is also and electrified feeling in my brain. During the middle of night recently I had a burst in my upper left brain that woke me up. Since then I have much more dizziness (visually also) and pain Rt in area where it happened.. and word losses. I have not had mri bc they make my damaged nerves hurt on and on. Can anyone shed any light on this frightening event?

@irr4et I have a background in teaching neuroscience so I can answer some questions about brain anatomy and how it works. However, I can’t diagnose as I’m not a medical professional and diagnoses cannot be made here.
The brain does not have any sensation. It does direct sensation to and from other parts of your body. Is it possible that what you’re feeling in your upper left head is in the scalp, on top of your skull? There are lots and lots of nerve endings there. Also, there is another explanation. One of the structures deep in the brain, in the thalamus, is responsible for directing brain pathways for pain, temperature, and touch. Something going on in the thalamus might explain the burning sensation too. This is just a guess. Only a neurologist can make a diagnosis when you’ve been evaluated.
The loss of words - did you have trouble speaking? Felt like you couldn’t remember the words? Did that coincide with the dizziness? That’s something definitely to talk with your doctor about.
Since you can’t have an MRI, what does your doctor suggest instead?
