Electrical shocks throughout my body.

I take Gabapentin along with another seizure med also for headaches and nerve pain, but I added a nerve supplement Healthy Feet and Legs by Terry Naturally that I buy on amazon. It stopped my restless legs at night, burning and shocks after a week. I take it every other night when I’m doing ok, and every night when I start having pains again. Worth every penny. It has components the other nerve supplements don’t have and it’s cheaper. My neurologist said it’s good. It has ALA in it, but I also take R-ALA which is natural and absorbed easier.

I also take a multivitamin and Bromelain, which is supposed to clear out toxins from cells, and is from pineapple. I also make a “joy juice” periodically to clear out cells, as explained by Dr. Axe. It’s pineapple, cherry, orange, cranberry juices mixed with real ginger ale. I was making it long before I read it on his website, but was glad to hear him promote understanding of it.

I was told to up my b12 shots and folate. I have pernicious anemia / autoimmune gastritis. I’ll try it and let you know.

I am constantly getting these feelings. I’ve tried to explain them by saying it’s like when you touch your tongue to a 9volt battery to test it. My neurologist said she’d never heard of anything like that. But it does where you down and is very uncomfortable.

My husband had surgery on his lower back L3,4, and 5. I have wondered if that is where and when these electric shocks started. It is definitely a nerve problem as you can see the nerves in his arm move. He is on hospice to help with these problems. They are so painful.

I would like to go back to the surgeon to see what he would say that would help. Hospice did not want him to go because they would want to do surgery. He has gone downhill from walking with a cane to wheelchair in 3 years but he does have Parkinsons.

Any other ideas?

My husband has electric shocks within his body especially both arms and right leg. The neurologist tried all kinds of medications but nothing worked. He was having these 4 times a day for the last 5 years. He went on hospice so he could get relief with morphine which causing horrible constipation and methodone. Alprazolam works the best to relieve the shocks so we are doing that instead of morphine and it has gotten the shocks down to once a day but still very painful. Clozanapan he takes at night for the shocks and it helps him sleep.

Hope this helps you in some way. I keep thinking it may be caused by having his L3,4, and 5 fused but we are on hospice and not recommended he goes off of it.

Hi!
I have the same feeling, but in my case it starts when i wake up and stops when i fall asleep for the night.
I feel my electric shocks when I move any part of my body and it lasts trough the whole day.
I’ve done a MR but they couldn’t find anything, I’ve done blood tests and couldn’t find anything.
And it hurts SO SO much..
And my doctor can’t do anything about it because they haven’t experienced anything like this before. And all i want to do is cry cry cry

@emilia00 and I’ve also had it for 5 years

I've had it since December 2025. Since late last year, I have experienced a significant increase in life's stresses with illness in my family and my own retirement that may have brought on these symptoms. I am awakened between 4 and 6AM with intense internal vibrations/electrical current. Often it disappears by 9AM but other days it lingers. MRI of brain and spine, EMG and appointment with a neurologist have all occurred. Took Xanax, Pregabalin and muscle relaxers. Nothing made a difference. Finally, my spine and pain doctor recommended acupuncture - they suggested it may be caused by the body's meridian cycles (Chinese medicine). Since all 'normal' medical tests show no medical reason for the electrical current and none of the normally prescribed meds helped at all, they suggested acupuncture. I will report here once I've begun the treatment and hope it will be positive --- for all of us.

My husband has since passed away and in no more pain but it is difficult. I do hope and pray that they can find cures for these diseases and make peoples lives better.
My heart goes out to all of you who are suffering and doctors and medication don't seem to help much. Try to stay positive, you can always find people with worse problems, look for the good you can find, enjoy your family and try to be grateful for what you do have.
