Oh I don’t know, me and technology don’t mix ha. It sounds as though you’ve been on a long journey to diagnosis yourself. It must be a very bitter sweet moment hearing that it is MS. I only imagine that it’s quite a shock but a relief to get a diagnosis. When you have symptoms for so long Drs start to give you a strange look (me anyway) and you almost start to doubt yourself, it sends you crazy.
I hope you’re able to manage it well. Wishing you the best. Tanya
Once again George that is so very helpful thank you!! Have you experienced this yourself? Sometimes it is one side, sometimes both, or sometimes I get pain in the kidney area but then as it calms down I get muscle spasms there too. It’s all very strange and uncomfortable! I’m not able to clear my chest because of it.
Thank you again!! Tanya
I believe that “MS Hug” is caused by the muscles of the rib cage going into spasm or staying tense. These muscles are partly responsible for squeezing our lungs which causes air to go in and out (breathing).
That would explain why you can’t clear your chest properly.

Anthony
I’m afraid the strange looks don’t stop with dx! You just get passed around from GP to Neuro to MS nurse, each saying you are someone else’s responsibility and being told that your symptoms are playing up because you are stressed. Best of luck, hope the MRI results bring you some answers.
I can’t only imagine what you’re telling me, why am I not surprised?! Thanks again. Have a great weekend.
Hi again! I had my results from the MRI- he said to him the two white areas on my brain look non specific but the radiologist thinks it’s inflammation on my brain so I have to go for a lumbar puncture and blood tests. Not sure what to think? I suppose I just have to be patient.
Hope you’re all well.
Tanya
Hopefully the tests will come about soon and you’ll get some real and meaningful answers soon.
