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.

For the first time, I am experiencing a shocking sensation at the ball of my left foot.  It lasts about 10 seconds and then it goes away.  I notice it more when I'm driving (with my right foot).  The sensation reminds me of a "muscle stimulator or electronic massager", once when I hooked it up to my feet, but the feeling I have is much more intense like a shocking pain.  Can anyone tell me what causes this pain?  Is it maybe related to my back pain?  I discounted that because my back pain is mainly on the the lower right (not the left side).

I also get this, and after a bad day as I fall asleep I have the sensation for a few minutes which leaves me having a fit whilst not being able to move. I always try calling out for but fail to speak clearly. Doctors don't seem to know what it is, and this scares me.

I have had the same problem as you for years. I've found the perfect medication to help aleviate the shocks. I have found that Cymbalta which is a drug for nerve pain is great. My shocks will begin within a few hours if I'm late in taking even one pill. I urge you to give this medication a try, it has worked wonders for me and I cannot imagine life without it.Good luck.

I have had a headache for about a week, on today I had a very bad shock like pain above my left eye. it actually almost knocked me off my feet. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, anxiety. I also have ringing in my ears. I just want some relief.

Some pain has its origins in nutrition or the lack thereof...magnesium may help with leg pain.  Taken in combination with calcium or not.  A pharmacist whose father has MS told me of this in a casual conversation.  Chatting may not be so idle.
