My electrical shocks and stinging were random, anywhere inside my skin. It felt like I imagine a cattle prod would feel. Like you doctors thought I looked fine. I do have a form of eczema Allergic Contact Dermatitis and after the 5 Day Extended Patch learned what to avoid, implementing contact control and the rashes healed. Yet this random stinging did not leave and kept getting worse. I thought I had nerve issues based on a neck injury decades earlier so I had a load of neurological testing, all that to learn I had carpal tunnel. Nothing else showed up. The stinging was worse at night as histamines are elevated in the evening. I was sleep deprived and was definitely loosing my mind, laying in bed at night planning the surest, cleanest and least painful way to commit suicide. I didn't want to fail or leave a mess for my husband to clean up. I had no memory of being pain free.I would have sold my soul to the devil have a hour of freedom from pain, simply to remember what it used to feel like. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture. I started on an annual Kenalog-40 corticosteroid shot and this was amazing and kept the electrical taser stings away for about 10 months, then it would slowing begin again. This went on for several years. Steroid shots in the long run are bad news. I finally bit the bullet and began an anti-inflammation diet, a real sacrifice-zero processed sugar and zero carbs for a 3 months detox then zero processed sugar for life, limited natural sugar like a piece of fruit 3- 4 days a week and safe carbs like rice, but zero gluten for life. I began this last Oct 2018 when the corticosteroid shot was wearing off and the stinging and zapping was starting up again. By Dec 1 when I normally had this shot I didn't need it! Now 13 months later and staying true to the Dr William Crook anti-inflammation diet, The Yeast Connection Handbook, I still am electrical shock free. This Dec will be 2 years since I required the potent and not so good for you corticosteroid shot.
All said your symptoms are different in that it is not an all day event. Yet originally mine were not either, this built up slowly over time. You are not crazy, this is really happening to you and you are smart for seeking info from others. I have, for now, solved my problem. The Dr. William Crook book is still sold today on Amazon, not expensive, a simple read. Easy hand written diagrams showing the influence of certain foods raising our histamines. This diet will not hurt you or cause negative side effects like the steroid shots and takes no prescription. Yet you must have the strength to follow it. Will power is a must. Now I never even think about sugar however that took at least 6 months of craving it. It's not easy, but if you are in enough pain you will be motivated to try anything that won't hurt you. I plan to eat like this for the rest of my life. Best of luck, I feel for you. Been there! Living life to the fullest now.

My wife has the same shocks in her body when sleeping , doctors have been no help, recently we stumbled on GABA suplement that WORKS !! Finally she is able to sleep the whole night again. Try GABA Relaxer by Country Life it works for her. Somehow it slows down the brain and nervous system for a while when sleeping. Blocks activity I guess All we know is she can sleep once more.

I want to update information about my diet to stop the internal skin electrical shocks which was posted on Nov 15, 2019.
Now 5 years later I still do not eat any processed sugar, but do have two servings of fruit a day.
I am back on sugar free carbs, all types not only rice. For a year I avoided gluten carbs: I've learned gluten was never my issue.
I followed the Dr. William Crook detox for a full 3 months even though his detox is for 2 months and then stayed true to his maintenance diet plan after detox for a year and now eat a normal diet, with on exception no processed sugar. I am still free of the intense, miserable internal skin inflammation which must have been caused by the yeast colonies living in my guts as he explains in his book, The Yeast Connection Handbook, detoxing starves out the yeast colonies.
I haven't needed my annual cortico steroid injection, Kenalog 40, since I began this diet.
It has taken me years, about 4, to finally get over my craving for sweets. Trust me it's a challenge. Mind you I never was overweight or ate an excessive amount of processed sugar. I now even prefer my morning toast without even a sugar free jam. I simply enjoy tasting the wheat with butter. To help me pass up processed sugar I had to brainwash my mind by making up a repetitive jingle and repeating it over and over.

WHEN WILL YOU LEARN,
IT'S GOING TO MAKE YOU BURN.

I'd repeat this every time I was tempted, which was often because I had a healthy family to feed and they ate a normal diet, my home was full of temptation.

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.
