you should get a complete neuro exam- eyes examined (you follow a light), checking bottom of feet, reactions to stimulus- the works. I would think an MRI for your zaps down your arms- a herniated disc in the cervical (like C3-C4) would cause those problems. also the zaps in the brain- have you just withdrawn from a SSRI? that's a common symptom. if not, like the previous poster said the EEGs, my neuro wanted to keep me in the hospital hooked up until he actually saw seizure activity. BTW, my pdoc ordered these tests because of my dissociative states- so a lot of conversation between the neuro and pdoc occurred. good luck- judy
