Dej, I am one of the ones with a constant hug. Some days are worse than others, but it is always there. For some reason, my neuro never refers to it as the hug. Instead he calls it a girdle like symptom. Perhaps he is right. Hug is too nice of a word.

Tricia, I am going to try Vicks. I have never tried magnesium cream. do I need a prescription for it?
