I'm not sure about the electrical charge feeling or the jumping, but I do know I have days where I feel like someone is poking the back of my head from the inside. Might be the same sensation, but I've just gotten used to describing it differently. It drives me crazy. Sometimes, when it continues for a while, it makes me just need to scream. Deep breaths and meditation usually supresses the urge to scream, but it doesn't make the poking go away. I don't know what it is, but you might try meditation to control the negative side effects. I know that after a while it can make me feel very punchy and irritated. Deep breathing exercises keep me from flipping out on people.
