Just wanted to send hugs to all of the UK members. I'm watching from Norway and I'm just worried for all of you. I hope the stress of all of this doesn't affect your MS too much. <3 May the Force be with you. ~Mayvår

Ok so I hear about the ms hugs … my doctors tell me that it is anxiety? It happens to me at night usually before sleep I feel like I can’t get comfortable leg twitches pain in my hip area and back shoulders I get a sensation like I have to pee ache all over hands and elbows and neck and shoulders all ache aweful feeling! I usually am curled up in a ball on the floor crying until it passes . It’s the most aweful feeling anyone have suggestions on what helps them feel better when this happens ?

Hi just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, I have been having MS hugs, not sure why they are called hugs as hugs are nice MS hugs are far from nice, anyhow i have had them for months now some worse than others, I have had them at home and out and about, however not as bad as this last one I was travelling at 76mph on the Mway and had a really bad one,I could not pull over or off the Mway and I just wanted to curl up. It eventually passed after 10mins but it seemed like a lifetime. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and is there a way to ease the pain, thankyou
