Please can someone explain what an ms hug is like? Because I’m currently having weird pressure around my ribs on the right hand side and across my whole back like a ring.

Since last summer, I became a full time wheelchair user due to a severe relapse leaving my left leg paralysed. Si...

Good morning I was diagnosed with RRMS june 2022, I've had the MS hug since November 2021. It started waking me up with abdominal spasms and the only way I could and still can deal with this is to sleep in a sitting up position, not ideal for sleep. For about 13 months this was only happening in ...

I think I have experience my first ms hug, felt like I couldn't breathe, I'm fine now. Is that a ms hug or something else?

Can the MS Hug (ridiculous name 🙄) cause upper abdominal pain? Has anyone experienced it presenting this way? Thank you!
