[QUOTE=Av8rgirl;193344]As some of you already know, I have been sick since Thanksgiving. I even thought it might have been pneumonia. I've done a little research about the MS Hug and am thinking that maybe I am suffering from this new wonderful symptom - s



o let's discuss it.

I am feeling bruised from my armpits to my waist all the way around. My chest feels like someone is sitting on it and my rib cage just plain hurts.

I am not coughing from this crapola I have had with my sinuses so I don't think this is causing whatever is happening with my mid section.

I am short of breath, but the doc says there is no wheezing or crackling when he listens to my breathing and my chest x-ray was completely clear.


Hi FG: Never heard the expression MS Hug. But boy do I know what
you are talking about. I have had this for about 6 years. It has been getting
worse as time goes on. I can't even wear my bra, I feel like I am suffocation.

I have COPD and thought it was that. But when I would explain it to
the Doc he said it had nothing to do with the COPD. Yes some of it might, not
what I was explaining. Now I am going to ask my neuro about that and I know he is going to say that is not so. He is a Doc who does not believe that MS causes that much pain if any. I no, I no, you are going to say change Drs. Where I live there are not to many to choose from. The doc. I had before him was great, but he went and became an Admin. in the hospital.

That is why I take Ultram (Tramadol ) for the pain. My Rheu. Dr. takes
care of the pain meds for me because of the Fribro and Arth. Maybe some of
the pain is caused by the Fribro. Did you ever get checked for that?

Take care. This ms has our bodies really messed up. You don't know
what to blame for your problems.

I don't know what else to think?
