I've posted over on the MS board a few times and although dont have a diagnosis of that I can never help my paranoid mind. I'm in my mid 20s and since 2011 have had strange nerve-related symptoms.

I've had mild numbess a few times in different areas, hair loss, ear ringing, pin prick sensations all over the body, tiny muscle twitches all over, occasional muscle jerk, and the most painful of all...electric shock feeling in my inner calf!!

I know some of those aren't considered peripheral neuropathy, but has anyone ever experienced the shock sensation before? It came out of nowhere with no warning. I was asleep and it woke me at 6am one morning. It was the most painful, unreal feeling Id ever felt and literally made me recoil and jerk every time. I felt like I was being tazed or shocked from the inside. Like I said it was local, in my left inner calf. It came on every few seconds getting further and further apart and only lasted that one day, almost 1 year ago. Ever since that happens though every now as then I get these mild versions of it - more like little twinges of nerve pain, in my calves, that aren't enough to stop me in my tracks or cause an embarrassing scene (like the other would) but it's enough to give me goosebumps and make the baby hairs stand up on my body. Like electricity. Is this so bizarre or what?? I'm TERRIFIED this could happen again, and more terrified it could be while I'm at the gym, or driving, or just walking and making me cry out and almost fall. I pray every night that it won't come back, but I'm so afraid. Has anyone ever felt this before? Despite my MS fears I've never heard of this with MS, have any of you? Because I have other symptoms going on too I don't know if this is just peripheral neuropathy, nor do I know if anyone my age even gets PN without a definite cause. It's all so scary. I don't know what's going on.
