Well, that was, umm...interesting!
 

Ready for a little bit of TMI? :D I was sitting here, and all of the sudden I get an electric shock like feeling down, ahem, below. Felt like I had to go pee, but at the same time I was getting the shock there, I also felt the same shock on the bottom of my left foot. Happened about 3 or 4 times, so I figured I better go to the bathroom and relieve myself :Blush2:

What the heck? Is that a nerve crosswire, or what?

Hey,MamaMonkey OMG that's wierd yea sounds like there was a nerve mix up somewhere doesn't it.:Scratch-Head:

There are nerves that run from the spine all the way down to your legs (not sure if they're really long nerves, or if it's a group) but maybe you had a "misfire" that triggered the shock feeling running from that...umm...area, all the way down to your foot.

Every few weeks or at least once a month, I'll get a feeling like someone has shoved a taser into the side of ribcage, towards the back, and is giving me a quick zap or two. (and yeah, I've been tasered, so I know what it feels like)

It's not quite as painful as a real taser zap, but it's enough to stop me in my tracks to say "oy vey!", and make me look around for the taser.

omg thats weird.
I can say that Ive never done that before.

I have that sometimes when I'm going to sleep
 

but it can be in all different places in my body. The best way for me to describe it is to say it feels like I'm misfiring. It does have an electrical sensation.

I characterize those types of symptoms to my neuro as nueuron misfires. They come out of nowhere and affect many different parts of my body and unexpected times.

I've had things like that happen too. I actually have a spot on my uper thigh that if I scratch it I get a shock in my lower back.

Me too on the crossed wires!

If I push just right on the top of my big toe, I get an electric shock in an area above my left elbow and simultaneously on the top of my left hand.

I often get spontaneous "double shocks" in a tiny spot on one foot and simultaneously in a spot somewhere in my groin or ribcage. Very weird.

That's only a small sample of my list of crossed wires!

A rheumatologist told me that everybody gets that kind of thing. Doesn't indicate anything wrong. Hmm. I said, does that go for the Lhermitte's as well? Before the question was fully out of my mouth, he cut me off with "I don't know what that is."
