Soo sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I am 32 and have not been diagnosed but have the same symptoms. Could u please discuss how long did it take for your diagnosis, how many tests were done? did ur MS diagnosed by an MS specialist. I have a long list of symptoms but just symptoms , all tests negative. These zaps are only in my arms however ive had pain in my left arm for 7 months now, off and on. I have neck stiffness lately, weakness in legs and arms like all those neurolgical imbalance symptoms that may suggest MS. But still not diagnosed, however these electrical shocks are a latest edition to my miserable life. Shed some light on ur symptoms and testing done and may be we can compare some notes.
Well I had symptoms for a year, but like most people I ignored them and learned to deal with them, until a month ago. I had really bad balance and would fall at the gym about 7 or 8 months ago and i had double vision along with dizziness. I went to the doctor and they thought it was an inner ear infection, but the symptoms didn't go away for 2 months after I took medication. I figured it was a sinus issue and brushed it off. About a month ago I was petty my dog and all of a sudden my hand started to feel like it fell asleep and then a few days later my whole right side of my body was numb. I had no feeling and so I went to urgent care and they took blood for any diseases and the next day the doctor made me get a brain MRI and the next day I went in and he told me I had lesions on my brain and referred me to a Neurologist.
I went to a specialist the next day and he took more blood, got a chest xray and had solumedrol infusions for two days to try and get it under control as well as prednezone. the next week I got an MRI of my spinal cord and neck and did all the electrode tests. They found a lesion on my neck which is what was causing the numbness along with the weakness on my right side. I also had a lumbar puncture a few weeks ago and that was the final step in my diagnosis. After i got of the steroids is when I started to feel the electrical shocks. The doctor said it was due to the inflammation in the lesion on my spinal cord. I had to go to urgent care at the clinic two more times for infusions because every time I got of the steroids my symptoms would get worse again. The electrical shocks are the most annoying. I still can't feel my right hand and my muscles are weak sometimes. I am sorry you have had to deal with this. If you have the insurance and can do it I would go to a specialist. Keep me posted I will be as much help as possible. I can always ask my doctor questions.
