RE: jolts at night and having a really hard time

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I does sound like nerve issues. I have a lot of clitoral issues also.

Are you seeing Dr. sometime? You would probably benefit from

Neurontin or Lyrica or something in that category. I would have

severe spasms that would be very painful and keep me awake.

Thanks for everyone's input. I am one of Dr. Conway's patients and he does not think my nerve is entrapped (at least not severe enough to require surgery). I haven't talked to him about these yet, as they are relatively recent, but I am going to get another block in a couple of weeks and will talk to him about them then. While I don't know why I am having these, I hope that it means my nerve is starting to heal, since they're not painful. But, who knows....i doubt it, but I try to look on the positive side for some hope. I'm currently on medications but relatively low ones and if a few more different blocks don't help then Dr. Quesada is going to change my meds. I'm only 23 and pretty healthy- my nerves should be able to fully heal!!!!! (that's me looking on the positive side...usually I don't have any hope) erinmillburytimes

wrote: If you do a search for electric shocks or jolts on the pudendal.info site you will find a lot of information. It is called hyper-arousal syndrome. A very good friend of mine has this very severely. It was caused by the birth of her child – he should have been delivered by C-section, but the doctor let him sit with his head pressing on the pudendal nerve (near the clitoris) for too long. That was two years ago. Her shocks are so bad, that she can no longer drive as she jerks so badly she

swerves off the road. She can have 30 or more shocks during a 24 hour period, also while sleeping. They are extremely painful and can literally double her over. She has no other PN or vaginal symptoms. She is a patient of Dr. Conway and had pudendal decompression surgery five months ago, and still is not any better. Dr. Conway feels that she will improve with time, but (as with all PN surgeries) it can take up to two years.

having a really hard time hi all,i'm having a very difficult time going to sleep right now and am on the verge of just losing every single ounce of hope. i think i am getting worse because lately when i go to bed and my body relaxes, i get these jolts into the clitoris. they don't hurt and i don't really know how to describe them, but they wake me up and eventually my nerves just end up feeling aroused and very stimulated. i don't know why i only get this at night, and it's not when i'm laying in bed watching tv, it's as i'm falling asleep. i have no idea what this means and have a feeling it's not good. does anyone else ever experience this?all in all i am just breaking down. i just keep thinking this is a horrible dream and that i just have to wake up, but it never happens. i'm only 23 and can't

even fathom living the rest of my life like this. i feel like i've tried everything, and i don't even know what my problem is. at first i thought it was pudendal neuralgia but i'm questioning that lately. then i thought maybe it's lichen planus under the hood, but with these jolts/arousal feeling at night now, i'm not sure how that could be from lichen. i feel so alone through all of this. my friend and my mom knows about it, but i think they're tired of dealing with me and don't know what to say so i just don't talk to them about it anymore. i don't have a boyfriend to talk to about it, and don't see how i could ever start a relationship with this problem. i thought it was bad enough before, but now with these jolts/arousal like feeling at night it's getting hard for me to get any sleep, when sleep never used to bother me before, another reason that i think i'm getting worse. i know everyone on here has gone through times like

this, but i just don't even know how to stay sane anymore. imagine trying to go to sleep and having jolts into your clitoris that end up making you feel extremely aroused that doesn't go away. sleep used to be my only time to escape but now i don't even have that anymore. i keep thinking that i don't understand how something that is used solely for pleasure is causing me so much pain and depression. i just feel like my life is over and for the next 50 years i'll be living in hell. i just keep pondering over why i get like this at night as i'm falling asleep and i've got nothing. i really don't think i can keep pushing along for much longer before i go into complete and utter depression, not to mention having a very difficult time sleeping.today's going to be a wonderful day at work and school, since i'm pretty sure i'll be in pain and will be exhausted from only getting a couple of hours of sleep, if any at
