Electric Shock sensations

[mschvusangel]

Does anyone ever have electric shock sensations?  It feels as though someone is zapping me with electricity in the back of my head.  The feeling starts at the base of my skull and travels down the back of my neck.  The sensation only lasts a few seconds, but sometimes it does it over and over for several minutes.  I have had these before, but it was very few and it very infrequent, but they have returned and now are happening every day.  

I have googled this and all I can find is withdrawal from antidepressants, or something related to MS.  I have never taken antidepressants, and I haven't been on anything else recently either.

Hi I broke my back and neck in '76 and after that I would get what I called numb-shock explosions if I landed hard on my left leg and turned slightly. I tried very hard to avoid the things that would case this. In the early 90's I had a flare of spinal problems and at about that same time I got severe Bell's palsy (or possibly another cranial type palsy) on the left side of my face. Since then I have dealt with Lhermitte's flare-ups in various and changing ways. I wonder how many others have begun having Lhermitte's after a bad case of Bell's Palsy?

Hi I have similar feelings. I was diagnosed with many different things and treated in Alberta then returned to Manitoba and it is like starting over. I am so very tired of it all. I was injured in 5 car accidents and from the first on have had damage throughout my body.

Mine started after a chiropractor adjustment!
The adjustment help tremendously but the strange sensation from my neck to my the top of my left shoulder is very bothersome,

I am not a doctor but I think this could be from a disc issue from damage around your 3,4, and 5 in your neck. They could easily do a scan of your neck to see if there is any damage.

HI Mom of 11- Welcome to our group.

This is a pretty old thread, and I'm pretty sure miss_latip no longer visits. I just didn't want you to think she was ignoring you :-)
