Finally a way to describe how I feel...
..when listening to Flo Rida's Right Round on the radio. Or counting the number of syllables in Rhianna's umberellaellaellaellaella etc.
Yes, this month's best medical affliction must go to a phenomenon known as music-induced seizures. Even that girl on Discovery Channel who doesn't feel pain doesn't have jack shit on this one. At the very least this one most can relate to. It's easy really. To find out if you have music-induced seizure, simply ask yourself if you frequently hear songs, whether on radio, at parties, clubs, even the wannabe hip-hopper who has to play his music on his Sony Ericsson mobile phone speaker (just so everyone knows how shit his taste in music is); ask yourself if you find yourself having once, twice, or even on half-hourly basis, have your ears rudely raped by the familiar series of monotonous rhymes, nonsensical lyrics or just simply an irritating voice that makes nails scratching a chalkboard for 3 and a half minutes a whole lot more bearable. If your answer is "yes", congratulations! You have just self-diagnosed yourself with a sub-severe condition of a disease which could potentially require surgical removal of half your brain so that you may put up with batshit music.

One of Gayle's first music-induced seizures happened at a cookout where the song "Temperature" was being played. Some time after this, she had a similar experience at a restaurant.
The seizures were so bad that Gayle finally had part of her brain surgically removed in an effort to control her problem.
"She realized her life was going out of control with these seizures happening," said Dr. Ashesh Mehta, the director of epilepsy surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center.
