My neuro wants me to go to my PCP to see if it's reflux that caused the chest pains since the EKG and Xrays were fine. My chest isn't hurting though anymore, but it's my waist and legs that are hurting. It feels like someone is squeezing them.

Percocet is not for nerve pain either. Opiads just don't work well
for nerve pain. Lyrica may be better?

Sounds like MS. We get all kinds of fun sensations!

Yeah I'm beginning to see that. It's really weird though, I've never had "MS Hugs" only after I started taking Rebif. Why is that?

Rebif doesn't treat the symptoms of MS. You'd probably have the hug whether you took Rebif or not. The hug is just one of the many symptoms of MS.

The Hug isn't a very loving hug is it?
I'm apparently wearing an invisible corset right now, and there's at least one invisible boa constrictor helping to tighten the corset on top of that. I'm not really feeling the love from The Hug. Or maybe it's "loving" me too much? @skywalker1988, I'm surprised they didn't give you a muscle relaxer of some sort. I'm using muscle relaxers for mine, but I really hate the sedative effect that things like baclofen and valium give me. I tend to use the smallest amount I can get to basically take the edge off of things. I use baclofen every night (two 10mg pills at bedtime). During the day tho, I'll break a 10mg pill into fourths, and just take a 1/4 of a pill. I do the same thing with valium. But, I'm a lot more careful with the valium, since I don't have as big a Rx for it. It's just for an "as needed" basis. My pill bottle is full of half sized pieces and 1/4 size pieces that I've broken up. I hate how sleepy that stuff makes me. I'll put up with a lot before I touch the valium.

All I have for pain right now is Percocet, and I've actually noticed that this hug has lasted longer than before. The real bad pain comes and goes, but pain has been there now since early Saturday morning. Only thing that helps along with the Perocet when it gets real bad is I have this heat wrap that you warm up in the microwave.
I've also noticed that the hug gets worse - get this - when I lay down to go to sleep. |
