can anyone else tell me if they ever feel like they are being zapped by electricity ??? Not super strong and painful but strong enough to definitely feel it in feet and hands. a little in my arms and legs. Some even in my face lips and scalp. This is weird. my eye sight is affected by it also,

Are you on Cymbalta by any chance? I had really bad head zaps while taking Cymbalta, especially when I was coming off it for good.

No zaps, well, I have a messed up neck so from time to time I do get electrical signals in my left arm. I have noticed since I have been on Savella for FM I have experienced skin crawls. I get the crawlies and goosebumps a lot lately. Maybe your meds are causing it

I call it the short circuit feeling.
Sometimes it feels like i have a low current running through me but other times I get a shocked almost startling zapped feeling. Sometimes noises will cause it.
It is almost like someone snuck up on me but a little different.
