Electric shocks

[Pinkandpink]

I didn’t know where else to post, but I keep getting tiny electric shocks all over my body, face, legs, everywhere . It’s annoying and uncomfortable. It’s especially at night.

Have you spoken to your GP?

I got this among lots of other symptoms before I found out I had folate deficiency and pernicious anaemia (B12 deficiency.)

Speak to your GP.

I had anemia very badly a few years ago, I had iron tablets but they made me vomit a lot so stopped taking them. I don’t feel anemic but you never know. I’ll speak to the doctor on Wednesday and see if I can order some blood tests. I’m 49.

Thanks for answering

I get them in my legs. Assumed it was part of the joy that was fibromyalgia.

My sister has fibromyalgia and over the years I always thought I had it too. Will try and speak to doctor on Wednesday thanks

I have Fibromyalgia and Arthritis and I get massive 'electric shock' jerks, too. Sometimes my whole body jerks, sometimes maybe just an arm or my legs. Often I can feel where the shock starts amd travels right through my body.
They're worse when I'm trying to relax or get to sleep. My husband tells me they carry on all night, too.
I put them down to the Fibromyalgia but who knows. I've described them to a previous GP and told him they look like the 'myoclonic jerks' you can find footage of on YouTube but he didn't seem interested. They can be downright painful at times.
