Have you had this symptom?

A sensation like electricity running through your entire body for about at a time period of an hour and coming back to
At times the next day like arm and finger awareness of tingling?
Does this sound like a schizophrenia problem or like a physical health problem?

Yea i heard of the zaps before
Dont think it’s that its like energetically charged longer term than a zap

Wonder if its an early sign of MS or smth

I sometimes get an electric current feeling running up my neck to my head. Tingles. It’s weird. Don’t know why I get it.

Brain zaps. The nurse in the hospital said that meds can make them worse.

Yes, I was told that it’s because of zoloft.

Hopefully nah MS. Maybe just a little temporary, low circulation in arms like get up too fast. Hi!

This sounds like either a type of peripheral neuropathy (injury to sensory nerves in the arms) that can be caused by a number of factors, or less likely a spinal cord problem. If you have uncontrolled diabetes, then that would be one possible cause. The treatment would be aggresive blood sugar control and use of medications in the class of Neurontin. Nerve compression causing these type of symptoms are a possibility though not as likely. This should be evaluated by a neurologist. I would start with an examination and blood tests to check the electrolytes, calcium and magnesium levels.

do you know if the fact that i just had a posture realignment session (an Alexandrer Technique lesson)
could make it more likely that it is a spinal chord thing?

or is that coincidence?

it was just about half an hour in major intensity (legs arms and body intense) a day or two after the lesson
it has come back a bit in my arms since,

i posted a reply but it was to the thread not to you , sorry

thank you
i was just about ready to write it off as another odd thing

you have helped put in motion further investigations
as a 14 year old i suddenly lost control of my movements and walked into a wall i was passing parallel to
i had foot drop as a child,always stumbling and falling over and i drop everything - lids and my grip might be a bit worse - its worse again recently
my fingers sometimes can’t find the keys on the key board
recently i can pick things up out of the frying pan and eat it almost straight away

one flight of stairs makes me suddenly short of breath when this should have continued to be easy - even judging my level of fitness
i have knock knees and bunions
clumsiness is a life long joke but it has been going acutely worse again now
I have had a little difficulty with things like coming out of the sea for example and losing a bit of control of my legs
for a few years i have had difficulty sometimes, just now and then where i fall slighlty to my right as i am turning round / balance loss
as well as some very embarrassing falls when i was more obese
I’ve had teeth nightmares of clenching teeth
yesterday any tingling was intense, worsening and all over after sitting for an hour (it was constant pulsing worse and worse) i got up and somehow my legs stopped working and i fell to my side unexpectedly back onto the sofa

i never connected it all

Sorry
i forgot i get tremors mainly hands
when i did some running i’d bloody my left ankle
my eyes sometimes focus differently like a camera on a zoom button multiclick settings

While weaning off antidepressants I get zaps that shoot from my head out of my fingertips
