No, no migraines. It's normally different thoughts that trigger it. I can't think of any examples, but it's normally a "different" thought for me. Something I normally wouldn't think, and I think A LOT. What'll happen is, I'll think the thought, get the "zap", think the thought again, get the zap a little weaker, try to think the thought again, a little weaker zap, then after 3-8 times, the zap is gone and the thought doesn't mean much to me, so I stop thinking it. Again, it's not common, it's rare.
Yes!! I get these every day, and I was wondering whether or not anyone else here got them. I'll think of something, usually it's when I suddenly remember something I have to do later that day, and I'll get a quick, sharp rigor or shiver that goes all the way down my spine. It lasts about 5 seconds max, and I have them several times a day. It feels like what I assume a mild electric shock would feel like. I'd love to know the exact name for this, and what really causes it. It definitely seems triggered by thoughts, but not necessarily anxious or negative ones.
