What Could Random Electic Shock Like Shooting Pain Through The Body Indicate?

Okay, I have really random pains shooting through my body, almost like electricity. They started from my lower back of my head and upper neck. Then they kind of stayed on my right side for a while and traveled on that side like little pinches, then moved to the left and then just went at random. It was like with every pinch I felt, I d twitch in that area (my arms spas the most when it s on any part and it s almost as if I m involuntarily waving at someone or swatting something away). This started happening four days ago, but it was mild then. Now it seems as if it s worsened, and God help me when I get even a slight chill because then it s like ice shards are scraping at my skin. The pain was so bad last night that my motor skills were very weak to the point that I kind of had to shuffle (as if I were an elderly who was in desperate need of a cane) to get to bed. I thought I could sleep the pain off but the results are still the same. It only happens the most when it s the evening and night. That s when it really feels like I m immobile and rendered obsolete for the rest of the day. I noticed that the neck shocks that go in the back of my head also make me feel as if someone tried to give me a lobotomy from behind my head (never had a lobotomy but you get the quick stabbing concept) and then I feel like I m about to pass out, or there s this void in my head preventing me from being able to think for a moment. I m 21 years old, female, and I suffer from Raynaud s Disease (primary) if that helps. I ve never ever experienced this in all my years of having Raynaud s Disease and I m in a hot environment. It s not chilly outside. But these random pains started on Saturday, when I was warm and just inside sitting with friends. I don t drink and I m not on any substances. I have an appointment later this week, but I d like to know the possibilities before hand.
