I guess I'll bite. This is too tempting a hook here. ;-)

Dry hands and callouses for the 120 volt, carbon tracking from your
secondary on your power suppply or in your arms might explain the reduced
shock you mention with the one side of your NST. Dead nerves in your arm
might explain the lack of sensation.

To test this last one out, close your eyes. Can you feel your hands? If the
answer is yes, this is good, if no, It's time to start worrying. ;-)

Btw, being shocked isn't like having a vaccination where you get immune to
it. Ye get used to it but never immune. ;-)
