Members connected over experiencing sudden electric shock sensations throughout their bodies, describing them as feeling like lightning bolts or being tazered, with locations ranging from the back, head, eyes, and feet. Several members shared that Cymbalta has been helpful in reducing the frequency and intensity of these shocking sensations, though some also experience related symptoms like muscle cramps, spasms, and seizure-like episodes that complicate their overall management. A recurring theme was the shared relief of knowing others understand how frightening and painful these sensations can be, along with empathy for those navigating complex neurological symptoms.

I move a lot too. Bewtween muscle cramps n spasms AND the shocks and trying NOT to lock up solid. I have been tested for epilipsy, but of course it didn't show anything on the EEG. But I have something like seizures too.
