Daily random shocks throughout body

Hi @kimabooker. From experience it sounds like a few things but really depends on what they are doing at the time of the episodes and how often, do they notice specific triggers. Definitely need to document trends. Here are a few possibilities. You noted they both play sports. Could also be a result of injuries.

Might consider a second opinion at your nearest Mayo clinic facility.

Wow, how scary. I feel sad for them. Definitely needs special attention. Something is wrong for sure but could be injuries during birth. Keep searching It is not normal and could cause more complications as they grow.
Keeping them in my prayers

Thank you. The shocks happen randomly throughout the day. We have periodically tracked when the shocks happen and there just seems to be no rhyme or reason. We have noticed that when they lay down or sit and rest that it seems the most noticible but that could be just because they are in a more relaxed state so it may seem worse.
It's definitely not from injury because they both have always had them. They thought everyone had them and it was normal. It wasn't until my son was over 10 when he said something to me and I was like what are you talking about...people don't get shocks everyday. Looking back it makes sense because I would see them jerk or get a strange look on their face and now I know it was them getting shocks even as early as 4 yrs old.
