I think we just have electric personalities...lol...I have the same trouble, I even worry about pumping gas any more, I may cause and explosion, everything I touch I get shocked and I shock those around me, my children even hate it when I kiss them, because it hurts. I heard that if you put a safety pin inside your clothes, like on a seam, it would help, it hasn't helped me. I don't have a remedy, but I wanted to share that this one didn't work for me. Good luck and if you find something that works, please share it with me.

You need more humidity in the air, its way too dry. Get a humidifier or figure out a way to put moisture in the air. I have a gas powered space heater, I keep a pan of water on it. If you have radiator heat you can do the same thing.
