All the spots where these were applied to hurt really bad. I feel like the electrical shocks did the most damage. Pins and needles in legs, feet, arms and hands even in places I never had them before. After the tests everything is 100x than before.

But since they couldn’t test that, they decided to test my left leg and arm. I actually went for tingling in the left side of my face. Before I got the tests my symptoms where all gone in hands and feet. But this test was a really traumatic experience. He was constantly stirring it when it was in my muscle. The needle was thick / long and the doctor pushed it in really hard and deep. He kept zapping me in each point 10 times really hard. The doctor had problems with the machine and was very frustrated and in a bad mood. I’m on the small side 52 kg ( 114 pounds) and 1m59 (5,2 feet) and my guess is that the doctor used too high of a voltage. Electrical shocks felt like I was getting electrocuted.
