Does anybody else feel like their whole body feels full of electricity after the do a bit too much? Maybe I should stop trying to hoover the staircase again! I'm my own worst enemy.

Maybe I should plug the hoover into me just think of the money I could save! It is quite scary as every nerve and muscle feel on edge and can get quite painful at times but ver mind at least it won't kill me!

Hi catzanddogz

Hope you get to relax and do a little less.

My late Hubbie used to say use it or lose it. On the other hand, push it too much and there is a price to pay! Impossible to know where the line is and not helped by that line constantly on the move. Oh the joys of this condition! :) XX

Do you think you may be getting static electricity?. This can happen when you are vacuuming synthetic fibre carpet or laminated floors.

Try going outside for a few moments.

Hi, I feel like a wreck because I get this (and other problems) but I sometimes get it at night. I get terrible cramps in my legs and feet as well. For me it feels like having a Tens machine attached to most parts of my body and having it on a medium setting.

Hi catzndogz

I am so truly sorry to read this and it is not something that I get apart from what happens with my compressed sciatic nerve. There could so many reasons and I have pasted a few below but it is probably best to get it checked out my friend:

*WebMD says:

*The most common symptom is pain, but arachnoiditis can also cause: Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the legs. Sensations that may feel like insects crawling on the skin or water trickling down the leg. Severe shooting pain that can be similar to an electric shock sensation.9 Feb 2017

**HealthLine says:

**22 Jan 2016 - Lhermitte's is often described as feeling like an electrical shock or buzzing sensation. In a typical nervous system, nerve fibers are covered in a protective coating called myelin. ... The damaged nerves as well as healthy nerves can't relay messages and cause a variety of physical symptoms, including nerve pain.

***Menopause website says:

***Women during menopause are susceptible to electric shock sensation. ... these messages may be misconstrued, causing electric shocks beneath the skin.

There are hundreds of other snippet suggestions online as well. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Hi. I don't know if it's what you feel. However i often overdo things and give myself a flare up. I then know it's going to be a bad day cause when I wake up my whole body is tingling bad. I describe it as pins and needles but that's not quite right. I even have the sensation my brain.
