Hi, I'm new here/MS Hug

There is something I have to ask. I was recently diagnosed with MS after a brain MRI. I need to know what this MS hug is. Please read: 25 years ago when I was pregnant with my youngest there was a moment when he stuffed his little foot in my rib. About a year later I started to notice intense pain ...

Ms Hug

Lately I’ve been dealing with a new symptom, this tightness around my mid section that can be painful at times. I don’t want to believe that it is ms hug can it be anything else?

Hi I have rrms but latley I seem to be having more episides than usual , I am pretty used with tingling down one leg and regular pain in my sides which I believe is somthing called the ms hug which is reall annoying, but latley I have been experiencing servere pain in my lower jaw and teeth which happen when I touch a certain part of my bottom lip, even licking my lip can set it of, a few days ago it got scary when I was unable to talk due to the pain when simply trying to speak, I am currently on copaxone, this is the first time I have spoke about my ms on a forum apart from speaking to my long suffering partner ( who has to endure my whinging ) I just would like to know if anyone else has this sort of pain and any advice on how to deal with it . Thanks David

What is Ms hug? I did research on it, and it seems like my symptoms match perfectly

I also want to create an Ms support group in my area, let me know if you're interested
