MS hug

Extremely painful MS hug (i’m assuming) I have had other things ruled out so it does seem likely it’s that, it’s painful and I’m struggling and it’s making me go insane. I can’t sleep or go anywhere because it’s constantly there, I’m vomiting too, any advice please?

MS hug

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the MS hug? I've had it a few times in the past but last night I had the worst I've ever had. It lasted about 1 hour or so and I was vomitting and had the shakes. I felt hot and cold, and struggled to find a position to breath comfortably. If you've experien...

Hi folks, I'm trying to gauge people's interest in a new forum I'm creating. It's a forum for anyone but with a leaning on us MS folks. It's more an irreverent forum with lots of off topic (MS) sub forums, a little bit less moderated in terms of language (within reason of course) and more a place t...

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

MS Hug and bad legs.

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 ...
