Here's a link to a thread I started a while back about MS Hug
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ight=pneumonia
I had a hard time finding it and finally remembered it was while I thought I had pneumonia so did a search on that.
I hope this helps. I have had these types of symptoms twice and it's no picnic. Can't catch my breath, taking a deep breath hurts...spasming muscles, all the way around. Pain in mid-section, etc. Muscle relaxor helps, and also putting my arms up when I feel the spasms when trying to take a breath helps relax the muscles. it works...AMN taught me that one.
