Arm MS hugs??
Struggling with the sheer randomness and unpredictability of new symptoms.
Minding my business late Thursday afternoon? BAM hellish armband of cramping and pressure on my R arm, lasting around 6hrs and seem to sleep it off . Feeling relieved in the morning, ‘well that was weird..’ *shrugs it off in MS’er* 😅
Enjoying my last day off Friday, until midday then BAM excruciating armband of hell on my L arm, accompanied my pain and weakness. It easily lasted 12hrs, I was crying out in pain.
‘Maybe I’ll sleep it off again?’ I hoped.
I didn’t. I had to call in work last minute, the morning of my shift and look dumb.
A walk in centre and a ‘contact your MS nurses Monday, here’s some naproxen’ later, the leftie hurts a little less, but still v much numb and weak. 🙄
*Armband but above and below your elbow, kinda where an elbow support would be, torturously tight tho.
* I’ve had the OG MS hug, this felt so similar with that feeling of banding
Anyone else experienced a type of Arm MS hug!?
