I have to say this is an awesome thread, alot of old material and new things that I myself did not know. As far as the HUG goes, I am way out of the norm right now. My symptoms started in September and are very much here now. However my HUG started in the lower abdomen then went to my neck and upper torso, and stayed.

My numbness just subsides a little but is always there. Just had the IV steroids for 3 days and it helped just a little. At least I have a neuro that realizes everyone is different and although where my hug is, is rare, it is possible. Thought for sure he would say its not MS related because he has never seen the hug that high and for so long.

Thanks for the thread TKRIT, and just pleasant HUGS!
