Members connected over experiencing electric shock sensations in their spines and throughout their bodies, sharing that these episodes feel like sudden zaps or jolts that hurt and cause involuntary jumping. Several members described the shocks occurring randomly in various locations including the neck, spine, chest wall, pelvic area, legs, and feet, with one member noting it was actually their first symptom 25 years ago. A recurring theme was the unpredictable and jarring nature of these sensations, though some found relief over time as the shocks eventually lessened or stopped.

No but sometimes I get a pain in my big toe that feels like I got stabbed by a needle. It’s so weird!

I only got it a long time ago when I drank some regular Coca-Cola in the afternoon after an exhausting and emotional morning. That night I had electricity coming out of my head at midnight. I've since learned not to drink Coca-Cola. Maybe that's not what's causing it for you but it did it for me and I just know there's a correlation in my case. I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing but there are definitely a lot of things you need to not put in your body and Coca-Cola is one of them.

I get them in my legs and feet. Mostly my feet, which is strange, because most of the time they seem to be partially numb. Go figure. Feels like what I imagine sticking a fork in an outlet feels like...

I used to get this when I was younger, but haven't noticed it happening in a long time and sure am glad it stopped.

Yes all over. They come randomly. They hurt and make you jump.
