Debbie my hair is afffected too! it can drive you mad when you are trying to go out!!! The car door gives me a shock too. I wonder if it has anything to do with the material in our clothes! Anne

I do! I get shocks from the car, shopping trolleys, sometimes even the children. I find it is worse in dry weather and when I am wearing certain shoes, usually man made foam or rubbery soles. I think it is worse in these shoes because I am insulated , in leather soles the shock can go straight through me to the ground and I dont feel it. Someone with a knowledge of physics will probably say that is complete bunkum! Joan.(crackle crackle)

No solutions, but I have been interfering with my radio, for years. I get shocks from my washing machine, zimmer frame, infact anything metal. Deanna

I am suffering really bad at the moment, in my old house it was quite often then I moved here and have had nothing for a couple of months. Then two weeks ago it started again, door handles radiators taps cars its drivingme mad as I am scared to touch anything. Yes and even the Asda trolley last week. My boyfriend kissed me the other day only a peck but that gave me a shock too.
