It varies in intensity, and doesn't always happen, but when it does!!! Sometimes it just causes a tingling sensation in my hands, but every once in a while it will feel like I've grabbed hold of an electric cord, shocks all the way to my butt and down the back of my legs There's a name for it, I believe it's called L'Hermite's Syndrome. My radiation oncologist says it's "normal" and should clear up in time.
Good Health
