Nerve injury after lightning strike, recovery is hard

@shelleyw any after effects, short or long term?
I had another incident in an apartment I was renting. An outlet underneath the bed kind of exploded when I tried to pull the plug out. My hand turned black and I thought it was burned but it turned out the plastic of the plug melted all over my hand. Another ER trip!
I get you about being grateful you had rubber shoes on, on concrete. They told me that in the first incident, if I had not been going downstairs with momentum when I pushed the light switch in, things could have been worse or even deadly.
Not laughing at what happened to you!

windyshores,
No long term effects, that I know of. I was 24 then, 65 now. I have way too many medical and mental (depression/cognitive impairment), it's impossible to know which issue causes which problems with and without pain.
I've got a couple of questions:
1.Is there an actual reason why you get elect, so badly and repeatedly?
2.Do you have any "vibration" feelings, anywhere in your body?
As if you were standing on your clothes dryer while it is on? This started first only in my feet. The first time I moved to different parts of my house, no difference. I had my hubby come stand where I felt it the strongest, he felt nothing. Now it travels up from my feet thru body. It is not restless leg syndrome. Ex. I had a non-stressful outpatient surgery 2 weeks ago, in the bed, talking with the different doctors, I suddenly felt like the whole bed was strongly vibrating. I even, not so gently, abruptly interrupted the doctor and asked why is the bed vibrating? Of course he said he just bumped it. No one even believes me. I would love your opinion. Thanx, ShelleyW
