Oh fuck yeah. Sorry it's all so familiar. Ain't life fucked up. Sorry for the language , but that's the way life is.  You will get used to it. Even thogh it's shit.

I've had numbness down both of my legs and my arms too on seperate instances. Like any other relapse it can go or it might stick around for an unwelcome visit.  It does indeed suck monkey balls

afraid so, i recovered from a long spell of this kind of attack so don't go panicking about it yet. i felt like a puppet with no coordination. and the tightness across the chest stops you breathing. horrible


numb legs is pretty much my go-to symptom for relapses and can be really tiring. The rib thing sounds like the ridiculously named "ms hug" where the muscles between your ribs spasm and it feels like you're wearing a really tight corset. Not fun at all. And nothing like a hug! Hope it eases off soon x

That was my second symptom in my first relapse after the eye neurosis thingy, i went numb from the waist down, which was very scarey, couldnt feel my legs or anything, went to the docs 4 times & kept being told its a trapped nerve, it was only wen i said my mum had MS that they sent me for an MRI.. bless em..

I'm getting the MS Hug a lot at the moment, it's horrible.

I'm just recovering from a relapse where my symptoms from the past all decided to have a party together. Numbness neck down, ms hug, unitchable itch, and my right hand turned into an unusable claw. Gradually coming back but still got buzzing legs and sometimes abdomen, especially when I walk anywhere or tilt my head down. Like everyone says, you get used to it but it's good when things go back to normal-ish.  Bloody weird unpredictable condition!! 

I've been pretty stable for years, then about 2 years ago things started to go barmy. Relapse after relapse some bad, some terrible, some weak, but all having a profound impact on the psyche and the physically lasting damage. Anger, fear, all sorts of reactions. Tears in public etc. which only exacerbates the mental anguish that this shitty disease rounds upon us all. But we have no choice, we have to face it, bite the bullet and move on with our lives as we can. No-one else can do it for us. It is too easy to lash out at those that help us as they are easy targets. I've learnt to be silent in the most and not snap at them.

hello everyone i can also relate to the crying i am not one for doing it in front of people but i am am felling not 100% i cry at the drop of a hat its not good.


Crying/emotional outbursts (I get inappropriate laughing) are some of the more unusual symptoms of MS, if its becoming a problem for you then have a word with your MS nurse =)
