Thanks for the replies. I can't help but think the hair loss is related because the bouts come on around same time I get other symptoms. I've had blood work for thyroid, lupus, vitamin def, etc and everything has been clear except a slightly low thyroid but apparently was no big deal. Haven't had it done again for this year though. To be honest, I also haven't read of anyone having these nerve shocks manifested like mine with MS yet either. Just because they happen and I have pin pricks and twitching does that have to mean there's been damage to the myelin? Meaning MS? It's not the same as that symptom some people get when they put chin to chest. As I said I know other conditions can cause similar symptoms but when it comes to nerve pain I don't know of another condition besides diabetes and MS that can cause cause that. My latest blood work was done in Nov 2012, and my MRIs were done in Oct 2011, but nothing came up too abnormal with either so I don't know what's happening.
