Strange symptoms...???

Anyone have this? I have what I describe as lightening bolts in my head. If I close my eyes, it’s like one of those balls with lightening bolts. I will also have jerks in my body and shaking. These wear me out 100%!!! I’m hoping someone can guide me on these strange symptoms!

  1. I know it’s not neuropathy. I have an RA doctor and 4 other doctors, including my PCP. A couple of them want to refer me to a neurologist, though, so we will see what he/she says! I do know, the symptoms I describe above are so debilitating at times! Thanks for the reply!


    1. I think my first inclination was neuropathy because I have it. What sounded that way is the pain you describe. While mine does not totally sound like what you describe, it seems it could be. I think a neurologist is a great idea. I wish you good fortune !!

  2. At first I thought you may be describing neuropathy. But as you wrote more I am not sure. Since none of us are doctors this is a poor place to get medical advice. I suggest getting to you Rheumatologist or Pain doctor right away. That is the best way to get some answers. I wish you well and please keep us up to dare? I especially am interested in what you find out. Good luck and please do check back in.
