Yep, Laurie, we can all relate. I've been having a lot of trouble with the Hug this year. Like a lot of my symptoms, it just comes and goes, sometimes for hours, sometimes days, but never long or bad enough to be a full-on flare. For me, it feels like I've got a giant fist squashing my diaphragm vertically. I don't get any tapping, though. I also forgo the bra, and I take baclofen. It helps somewhat, and when combined with medical mj, I get better relief. Best thing for me is lying down. It feels so good when it ends and I can take a real deep breath again!

Lots of fun symptoms with this illness But then, I haven't heard of one that's "no so bad" just days that aren't so bad. They're like Fridays, and I live for them!

Hope you get relief soon.
