Hi my name is Gary and I go through this on a daily basis as well.. I'm not knowing what to say or what to do either because people think I'm crazy to. Couldn't believe I ran across this and someone else is actually going through the same thing. Just curious was u able to find out what it was that's causing it? KidWithShocks @braedenl2202

Hi Gary- I’m glad I saw your response.
After spending thousands and thousands of dollars on testing for these reactions that I thought were connected to the nervous system, I found out that’s more the case. They figured out I have a rare disease, something called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. A strange activation of mast cells, which are the cells that cause allergic reactions, throughout the day. There was a mixture of pills they had me take to keep the reactions under control. Gabapentin for the nerve pain, and the anti-histamines Doxepin, Ceterizine and Famotidine. I barely have issues at all anymore after taking these. Our situations could be completely different but don’t lose hope.

@garywurtz990 Nerve compressions cause electric shocks, and also issues like spinal cord compression that a person can have without knowing it. You may want to see a neurologist who can do some detective work on the source of your symptoms. There can be other diseases too like MS causing neurological symptoms. If your electric shocks are always in the same place, it may be a particular nerve. If they are random, it can be a disease or spinal cord problem because the cord floats in fluid in the spinal canal and may randomly contact the bone around it if there is arthritis in the spine. You can scroll for earlier comments I made about my all over body electric shocks caused by a compressed spinal cord.

Same here!

Mine took a vacation recently for about a month and then I had my very first seizure night be last. It came very suddenly, I don’t remember anything while it was happening except dreaming that my body was contorting in a horrible way while I was on the floor. When I came to,
