Would anyone describe the ms hug as feeling like a panic attack. I've had what I think is one a few times, mainly when under stress. The pain was so unbearable and just scary but because of the situation I was in I thought it was a panic attack. These all happened before my diagnosis, my last one being whilst I was pregnant, so five year ago. I've only recently found out about the ms hug. I'd never had a panic attack before so at the time believed that was what it was. Random question as it hasn't happened since but just trying to make sense of things.
