What’s a MS Hug?
What’s considered a MS hug? My chest feels like someone is sitting on it. My neck, shoulders, upper back and neck feel like they are on fire.

It’s different for everyone. My MS hug feels like two snakes wrapped around my torso to my waist. Most of the time it’s just numb and tingly. Sometimes it itches aggressively and no amount of scratching makes it better and then sometimes it feels like those snakes are trying to crush me. If you haven’t already contact your neurologist nerve related pain like this can be helped with something like gabapentin.
