Electrical shocks throughout my body.

Posted by KidWithShocks @braedenl2202, Nov 13, 2019

Hello. I’m not sure if anyone knows what I am talking about but I am hoping that someone does because I am beginning to feel crazy. Every day, I have an electrical sensation feeling throughout my entire body. The only way I can describe it to people is that it feels like I am being shocked by a light switch throughout my entire body. It is very painful, however only lasts from around 5-20 minutes, 1-5 times a day. It’s starting to scare me because my doctor looked at me like I was crazy, and my nurses chuckled when they heard my symptoms. I am going to a neurologist but they cannot fit me in for another month. It’s very painful for me and it has started to come with a red, splotchy rash from my neck down to my legs. If anyone has any idea what this could be and what I can do to surprise the pain, I would really appreciate the advice. And also if anyone else deals with this please tell me because I really am starting to think I am crazy. Thank you!

This sounds exactly like what I’m going through. Electric shocks and tingling (like something crawling under my skin) all over my body. I’m going crazy. My doctor is doing allergy testing but antihistamines don’t help much at all.

rellbabe- What type of allergy testing? About 5 years before these sensations started I had the 5 Day Extending Patch Test for Allergic Contact Dermatitis, ACD, because of itchy external rashes. All my itchy rash issues were eliminated because the test identified dozen of allergens, which of course means avoiding a hundred plus contacts.
Forgive me for repeating what worked for me, going on 5 years now, was reading The Yeast Connection Handbook by William Crook, MD. It saved my life. His brutal detox includes many foods I've been able to reintroduce without having a relapse, yet I still totally avoid processed sugar.
Antihistamines are only a treatment. They do not stop the cause of ACD or these internally skin symptoms. From reading this blog you realize there are many different causes of internal stinging, and zapping. Some have identified spinal issues. Sixty years ago in a car accident before seat belts I hit and cracked the windshield which resulted in 3 tilted discs in my neck. Eliminating processed sugar ending this internal misery, so it has nothing to do with my neck/spine.
If you are desparate like I was, you will find the strength to try this simple dietary solution. I'm not saying this is your answer, but it's worth a try. To begin with I followed the detox to the letter. His plan called for the detox to last 2 months, which I extended to 3 months because after 6 weeks I was definately noticing improvement. After that there is a maintanence plan I followed religiously then slowing added natural sugar in fruit and gluten overtime without any side effects.
If you havn't already, read this old blog from the beginning for other ideas. I hoping you and others find relief.

They’re testing my allergies to dogs, cats, dust mites. Your usual things. This only started about 8 wks ago. It seems to settle down then flares up at times. It’s literally like an ant is crawling on me. Obviously there isn’t anything there. It’s been happening on my face now as well. I get so distressed with it and I know that doesn’t help. I have to go back to doctor next week. She also mentioned seeing an immunologist. I just want it gone. I feel all out of sorts. My poor son thinks I’m mad.

The testing you are having for allergies to dogs, cats, dust mites, pollen and so on is not the test for Allergic Contact Dermatitis, ACD. This environmental test is usually a simple 30 minute patch test which I've had done several times in my youth. At that time they were testing for hayfever and sinus issues.
Google the 5 Day Extended Patch Test for ACD which takes 5 days with your entire upper back torso covered with at least 50 allergen patches. Because of my contact allergies my body's inflamation was elevated. I have had the True Test Patch kit test done several times, besides separate blood tests. Some of the allergens tested are natural like to rubber, cinnamon, metals and others are to chemicals and drugs like steroids and even antibiotics. You'll learn to read every fiber content of your contacts and ingredients in lotion, cosmetics, grooming products. You learn that so many ingredients, like preservatives in grooming products only serve the benefit of the manufacturer.
With repeated exposure over time the histamine levels in our body increase because they believe these substances are poison and are trying to attack and eliminate them. Eventually the body becomes allergic. Once allergic always allergic.

Good evening
I had this happening whenI first started having mast cell issues. Doxepin relieved this. you start low and increase dose until you get relief. It's a strong antihistamine and can make you drowsy.

I feel I’ve been exposed to a chemical those been absorbed into my bloodstream. I’m going back to doctors tomorrow as this is affecting my everyday life. I’m so depressed and I can’t imagine living with this for the rest of my life. I’m over people telling me it’s my nerves or I’m imagining it. It’s real and I’ll keep going till it’s resolved.

This is my first time speaking about it but here it goes. It happens to me when I'm laying in bed. Some nights I will be fine but other nights My legs will start feeling like they are being shocked sometimes it will be in my arms or even my stomach. It's like a steady vibration and there's no way you can fall asleep. I've been told it could be from stress but I'm not stressed about anything. Yeah I only get stressed out is when I'm laying in bed feeling like something's attacking me . I have been afraid to say anything to my doctors because I don't want them to think I'm crazy and put me away in a psych ward or something . I have struggled with depression and I am on Wellbutrin and I'm also on neurontine. I just want to know is there any meds that causes these shocks Tremors vibrations. I was shocked to read this post. I thought I was the only one

I get those electric shocks as well. Doctors don't know what it is. It feels like I am being hit with an electrical prod that they use on cows. So painful. I also have had pain and numbness in my leg from my hip to my knee. The pain get so bad that I can't walk. Just went to Disney with my family and ended up having to rent a scooter every day because the pain was so bad. My doctor said it is my IT band but I get it in both thighs so don't know what to do from here. I get it about feeling like you are crazy. It is like, nobody is going to believe you.

My elderly mother has started experiencing small electric shocks throughout her body since getting the first dose of Phyzer’s Covid vaccine. Maybe it’s not related to it….. but she attributes it to that.
