By zapped, I mean they quit working. Like sometimes, the tv remote will get stuck & I can't change the channel or volume. I can't use the keypad to access the garage or the atm at the store won't work for me. At times, they will work for others and sometimes they just break (like the remote at the Sleep Number bed store). Sometimes, after a period of time, they will start working again. It's weird. Maybe, too much electrical charge from my hands. My pain doc thinks it's amusing & says it's too bad I can't store the electricity on a grid to use for my house.
