Now you've got me wondering if I have experienced a variation of the hug. Last night when I got in the bed I had difficulty breathing, a pain above my collar bone on the right and the right side of my neck was burning. Felt like it was on fire. It was so bad, I was almost in tears. I rarely cry except when I watch Beaches. I'll bring this up to my neuro. I'll see her before my pcp as I had a mri last week.

I get the itchy patches in different spots than the numb patches. MS is like snowflakes, no two people have the exact same symptoms.

I hope you feel better and the copaxane works for you.
