I have had the same problem as you for years. I've found the perfect medication to help aleviate the shocks. I have found that Cymbalta which is a drug for nerve pain is great. My shocks will begin within a few hours if I'm late in taking even one pill. I urge you to give this medication a try, it has worked wonders for me and I cannot imagine life without it.Good luck.
I want to know if you found out what causes this. I to have started this with some kind of volts going thur me but mostly in and around my mouth.
I have had a headache for about a week, on today I had a very bad shock like pain above my left eye. it actually almost knocked me off my feet. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, anxiety. I also have ringing in my ears. I just want some relief.
Some pain has its origins in nutrition or the lack thereof...magnesium may help with leg pain. Taken in combination with calcium or not. A pharmacist whose father has MS told me of this in a casual conversation. Chatting may not be so idle.
My mom has MS and has told me on several occasions one of the feelings she has is electrical shock in the back of her legs. She says if she bends over like to blow dry her hair, that is when she feels it. So, hers is from her MS. Yours may or may not be related. But, thought I would share.
Insist on the 3T MRI - it is the protocol for MS and the contrast by IV is necessary too. Good Luck and I know it is hard but try to distract yourself with the things you love. I use flowers, scented candles, music, poetry, talking books, a really good French or Italian movie or a British comedy. The three stooges are good too - just imagine the actors as doctors. There are clowns and then there are clowns in the flesh without costume! I hope you are chuckling. Any MS society support group helps too. Just go to share and understand you are never, never alone with this situation!!
