@marilyntrevino are you sure this isnt Shingles? What has your Dr said? For everyone out there if you,ve had the herpes simplex from chickenpox or cold sores get a shingle shot if your Dr recommends .

Hi, Marilyn. I have the same electric shock. Mine usually goes from the back of my head down to my toes, or either foot. It has knocked me down a half dozen times, and hit me probably 30 times total. I am pretty certain mine is from Amyloidosis fibrils invading the nerves, specifically the Vagus nerve, and some others on occasion. I also suspect this is the cause of Amyloidosis Cardiac Sudden Death, when the fibrils push the wires apart, and the control nerves cannot deliver the signal for the heart to beat. The shock could be when wires get crossed under the myelin sheath, or get crossed in the brain under the impact of CAA (Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy). It usually hits when my eyes are seeing flashing lights when there are none there, and the pain in my left chest is bad. I suggest you ask your doc to order a Bindings Site sFLC (Serum FreeLiteChain) assay as a starter, to see if you have excess mis-folded protein particles, kappa or lambda) in you blood serum. The reference range for Kappa runs up to 1.65 mg/deciliter. Mine runs around 2.75-3.00, or up to 30.00 mg/SERUM liter. If so, get thee to Mayo or BU or MD Anderson or another top Amyloidosis clinic. Forgot to say that Metropolol Tartrate seems to help.

I had this in my arms for about 2years, electric shock feeling now I have constant nerve pain in my arms hands n fingers. If I use my arms ect... the pain just gets more intense. I'm very limited in how much I use my arms ect... everyday.
