Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Bill, It has been my experience that the MS Hug is a huge muscle spasm in your mid section. As far as what causes it??? Well, I think the doctors will have to let us know why we get so spastic!!! All I know is that MS cause it.... http://andcoverageforall.info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Hi Bill, The term " ms hug " is a feeling around the mid-section that feels like an " Ace " bandage is wrapped around you. Regards, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 My Hugs...they last a WHOLE lot longer than 15 minutes..Mine can last several days, and with my muscle relaxer it eventually goes away. I have found that I can tell when mine is coming on, because it starts to effect my bladder as well. Which is very painful in itself. I get that constant need to go to the restroom and then when I get there...Nothing... Thats how hard the muscles tighten up for me anyway...but in my experiences..the hugs last a while until your relaxer kicks in...

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 BILL, THE BES WAY I CAN DISCRIBE AN MS HUG IS THAT IT IS A LOT LIKE {JUST HARDER AND LONGER THAN} WHAT I CALL A DADDY HUG. WHEN I HAD NOT SEEN HIM FOR A LONG TIME OR WHEN HE JUST KNEW I NEEDED THAT EXTRA AND HE SQUEEZED THAT LITTLE BIT EXTRA AND HELD ON LONGER THAN USUAL. FRIENDSHIP IS TRULY A RARE JEWEL TO BE TREASURED FOREVERMAKE EACH DAY A DAY TO REMEMBERLOVE AND HAPPINESS; BUTTERFLIES AND FLOWERSLYNN MS Hug Somebody this week brought up the subject MS Hugs and I was wondering if someone could give me a good idea what you think that is and what causes it? I think I may have experienced the MS hug but not sure without understanding it better. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Thanks Tom, Lynn and for the response, I am not sure if what I had was the MS hug or not it only happened 2 times. We were having a birthday party for a relative one day and about the time we ate I had a really achy feeling across my chest area, I ended up staying in the restroom unil it ended which took maybe 15 minutes. I could not tell if I had sudden heart burn or just gas that caused it. It did come as a surprise kind of what a heart attack might be like. I am not sure if a 15 minute attack is considered a MS hug.
