Multiple sclerosis has frequently been compared to a malfunctioning
electrical symptom. When MS flares up, symptoms that feel a lot like sparks may
be felt. We might even call them jolts.
MS-related jolts may
take various forms.
MSers often describe pin prick sensations, painful twitches,
or even electrical-like shocks.
Many experience Lhermitte’s Sign, which is a sudden jolt of
pain that zips down the spine, especially when they tip their heads forward
towards their chests. This strong and uncomfortable symptom, which is generally
brief (but intermittent) may also be felt in the extremities.
It’s enough to make an MS warrior a little jumpy.
