Tuesday night about 9 i looked at my son and said i feel really ill im going to bed..I woke up about 10 with lightening going through my body sweats feeling sick and my body burning with my heart racing madly

I know this is really stupid but i would'nt let my son take me to A/E because it passed after 10/15mins, i did go to the doc's wed but it was a duty doc and she checked my pulse and temp and said thats ok if it happens again were do more tests. Lol she said it could be my age!!!!!!!!

I cant make out why for the last few weeks my energy levels have been so high and now i'm so tired i just need rest....

The only thing that i'm confused about is the lightening that that goes through my legs alot not sure if i'm missing something or the doc is??????

Dose anyone suffer with what feels like lightening going through your body...

Hope your all feeling as good as you can be.

YES! That is exactly how I describe my pain. It's like a lightening bolt striking inside my body but it can't escape and it just sparks inside me lighting up nerves randomly with intense pain. Sometimes It can happen just a couple of times, like in a random finger or ankle. Other times It can go on for hours and has me literally jerking and crying out in pain as the bolt strikes yet another body part, causing me to physically jolt.

Sorry to hear about your experience, it sounds nasty, but I do experience something that sounds very similar to what you are describing.

It sound the same as I have had a couple of times the first time left me with no movement in my legs and covered in what looked like bruises that had faded by the time i got to the hospital

Has any one else been left with the same bruising?

Yes not as excessive as yours seems to have been. I often get shooting pains in feet or back or hands, comes from nowhere and always takes me by surprise. The pain is so intense it literally stops me in my tracks. Sometimes it is like lightening and sometimes it is like a burning knife. I can imagine if it happened when you had dropped off to sleep it would literally shake your body awake and must ahve been very frightening. I've never had bruising like Mayrose but my body where it has happened feels as though it has been bruised. Hope you never have it againx

Hi bren876

I am so sorry to read that you had this horrid experience and I genuinely hope that you can find the answers that you desire and deserve. I understand what you are saying but I have never had this quite so violently or overwhelming like this? I can imagine that this was exceedingly frightening?

I want to wish you all the best of luck and I hope that you do not experience this again.

I hope that your all feeling as well as we can be,

Gentle hugs and good wishes to you all

Hi Viv

Just to say I also get this. Not all the time thankfully but it does either feel like lightening striking one part of my body or someone stabbing me. It takes my breath away and is the most horrible sensation ever.

I hope this doesn't happen often for you and sending you gentle hugs from a fellow lightening sufferer

Hi

I used to get this a lot. I discribed it as touching an electric fence, very unpleasant and painful. It seems to have settled down now and only occasionaly flares up. Very weird.

Nobody came up with an answer which is frustrating. Hope yours settles soon as well.

Take care

I would like to add the pain I suffer every single evening about 9pm. It's like I'm being crushed by a huge lorry or train all over my body especially my legs and hips. I cry out and moan out loud in agony. The only way I can stop it is by taking 10mg OxyNorm (morphine type tablet) 10mg dizapam and 2 paracetamol this gives me relief for the rest of the evening. I've tested myself and some days done absolutely nothing not walked or been to work, yet still the crushing experience still occurs. Anyone got any ideas of what to do apart from scream out loud!
