Oh no, it's bad enough having trineuroalgier, (can't spell) without having electric shocks. Please let us know how you get on with it and what the cause is, I hope they aren't too painful for you, blessings Jimeka

I get electric shocks in me feet, mostly at night, and I take gabapentin for it. Have you talked with your Neuro?

Could it be Trigeminal Neuralgia? I have it on both sides of my face now. It feels like horrible spasms. Carbamazepine relieves the pain the most. Good luck jbahnan!

Jbahnan, it's Fancy1959. Luckily I have never had any electronic shocks in my face or head. Have you changed your routine or changed your diet? Or perhaps you change your Ms therapy or the time you take drugs or stopped taking drugs? Anything at all we could blame this new symptom on? It's worth a shot to keep a very detailed log right now for the next couple weeks just to see if you can pinpoint on any specific action.

Thank you louis, it's not really pain, just this electric shock on the right side of my face, very uncomfortable feeling.

I was having them on the left side of my face last year at random times and it was over quickly but it would hurt so bad when it happened. I don't have them anymore but my Neuro said I could get botox at the site if I wanted so that it would stop. I forget the name he gave it.

That would most likely be trigeminal neuralgia. Many people with MS have this, including me. It's levels of intensity can vary. Mine can be very intense at times, especially when I have sinus infection.
