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 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 :-)

Hi,
Sounds to me like you have Tourette syndrome. (not sure of spelling)
My son has a mild case of it. What you are experiencing seems like a tick.
Try to study that out. It really helped me to understand my son better,after reading about Tourette syndrome.
It never really bothers him, only those around him. It doesn't bother those that know him now, because we've tried educating them about Tourettes & they have a better understanding of it now.
Hope this helps.

I too have these. About 4 months it began with a burning in my neck that progressed to electrical shocks in random places (including my head), the progressed to sore weak muscles. It was so bad I lost 15 lbs in maybe 3 weeks because I got so depressed. My dr thinks I have ms. My chiropractor found herniated discs in my back. She never looked at my neck but i get severe tension headaches. I was given a brain scan and it was normal. I still get tingling, shocks and muscle spasms but just a few times per day. I am still scared of what it is. I am 25, i didn't think i would be having problems so young.
