Shocking!!!

[TheWallBumper]

Does anyone have a problem with electric shock going down your spine when your chin touches your chest?

[Royjr]

Very common symptom.

[greaterexp]

That’s very common and is called Lhermitte’s sign. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.

It say that I ever did until you brought it up. I've learned something today, It goes to prove we can learn a lot from each other when we least expect it. Fancy.

[AngieRowe]

I have it

[jkdavid99]

Yep all the time

[cindyrn68]

All the time. Mine isn't painful, just odd.

[jorrell]

I have a slightly different version. it shoots down both arms when moving head downward, clears in a few seconds.

I use to have it early in my dx but it has gone away. I made this same comment about a constant itch in my inner ear a couple weeks ago and low and behold it has come back. So let’s see if this does too.

When I look down, my legs feel electrified. It use to be just my left, but now it’s my right too. Annoying but not painful and not all the time. I always feel like it’s my MS reminding me that it’s still present. Same with the Trigeminal neuralgia.

[TheWallBumper]

Does anyone know a good way to stop it when it happens?

[falalalala in reply to TheWallBumper]

They prescribed steroids back when I was first diagnosed.

It took care of it.

[Texandyroe]

Yep. Had it years ago when I was first diagnosed, but haven’t had in a while.

[kdali]

It’s called L’hermittes. I had it for 2 months a few relapses ago. I think it’s more common with spinal MS.

[twooldcrows]

i have not heard of this....

[Peruzzot]

It's very common. I get it off and on. Not painful just really annoying.

[pamgarner]

I also get it off and on,I haven't had it for a while then BAM,had it monday.just for seconds

[TheWallBumper]

The electric shots don't last long but right after that my head hurts and I have to lay down and I am usually done for the day or if lucky just an hour. Anyone one have head pain like that too?

[falalalala]

That was one of my first symptoms. I have since found out it's called Lhermitte's sign.

It was my worst problem with MS to date.

I hope you get relief.
