Electrical shocks throughout my body.

Hi, @seeker4answers
You have so specific symptoms, and it sounds like you're keeping good track of them, I'm surprised no doctor has stepped up to give you some help, or to at least give you a possible explanation for what is going on. To have to wait until July before you can see another neurologist seems a damn shame. Are there no other neurologists in your area who might be able to see you sooner? Might your PCP know of one? I don't know the protocol for this, but, considering your pain and other symptoms, might this warrant a visit to your local hospital's ER? I'm sure others here will have better suggestions for what you might. In the meantime, I wish you speedy relief from all of your discomforts.
Best wishes,

I am in California and have decent insurance. The specialists are so overloaded that it takes months to see anyone. I went on an email campaign and was finally given the appointment in July which was originally end of September! If I go to an ER, they will just do labs and run my vitals, which will be okay and then send me on my way.
My PCP has been ordering the MRIs - I just had 2 more - but I won't really have them evaluated until I'm seen by neurologist. I know enough from the radiology tech that they are looking for MS, which is what I suspected all along. I know doctors hate when one goes "on-line", to self diagnose, but given that I am always so uncomfortable, may anxiety level is through the roof and I just want to get some relief. I hate taking pills and they don't much work anyway.
I'm starting to wonder if chordoma on my sacral area, which they have yet to image, even with everything going on down there. More months of waiting to find anything out.
