MS Hug.... but no kisses

Hey there, have just signed up, got pointed in this direction of this cool site from a bbc link, anyways hope you are all feeling good in body and mind. I was diagnosed with ppms about 18 months ago, I am 33 and normally you dont get diagnosed till later in life but hey that's the hand that ive been given so best to play it as best possible. I have been getting MS Hug, not much is known about this but was wondering if any of you have experienced symptoms of shortness of breath caused by muscles tightening in your chest so that your diaphrame cant inflate or deflate without causing extreme pain. it feels as if a car is parked on my chest! I have went to the doctors and my lungs and heart are ok so by process of ilimination it looks as though it is down to MS, this has happened about 6-8 times this year and it results in gasping for breath and not being able to speak as I dont have enough air in me. If you have experienced this can you advise on what if anything you can do to control this. Thanks y'all

I'm sorry but my hugs have been pretty mild compared to yours - I just wanted to pop by and say that I hope that things start settling down soon.

I don really get 'the hug' sorry mate. I lost a lot of weight (7 stone+) and now I find my muscles are rubbery as they are stretched to operate the old sized me. So I tend to go like jelly! Working on the exercise thing to help.
