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?

How often do you get an MRI of your spine?

Just wondering how often you get an MRI of your spine done? I still don’t have a diagnosis of MS but as the years go on, new symptoms seem to appear. I had an MRI of my full spine back in 2021 but didn’t have any lesions there, only my brain. That was prior to my leg becoming as weak as it is now....

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

Legs heating up

A few time my legs heated up but a few seconds later went away this time my legs felt like they was about to start cooking.. so I went back to my room. Didn't want my sons friends to see ..but it led in to a ms hug attack and my legs and feet and arms and fingers went stiff .. couldn't dial out
