PAIN was the biggest reason my Dx took 18 years (1980-1998)! They said it was NOT an MS symptom.
Thanks again for addressing this topic and thanks to the specialists that finally realized that MS pain is real and the impact that it has.

I truly believe STRESS is the #1 reason for MS. I lived 20 years like a rubber band pulled tight, then was dx'd with MS.

I don’t know if I have ms or not but I got all the symptoms. Last week when I was brushing my teeth my head fell in the sink. I grabbed my head with my hands and lift it back because I couldn’t control it.

The hug to me is like a boa constrictor wrapping around me while I'm trying to breathe through one of those tiny coffee stir straws.

Everyone can see it on my arms. They have huge permanent and reoccurring nodules from the insane itching. My arms look so bad, people think I was a drug addict. Makes me so sad.
But, your information and amazing attitude help keep me educated and your personality makes me happy.
Thank You so much for all the time you take to share this information.
It’s like having a doctor that takes extra time with you !!
Thanks again,
☮️💟&🦄’s

I totally give that answer to people that say to me (especially when i take out the handicapped placard) "You don't look handicapped".... i reply "and you don't look ignorant, yet here we are!" I appreciate your efforts here to explain to your patients... enjoying watching your persona evolution on the videos too... <3

Omg....before I knew about the MS hug I’ve been to the ER many, many times thinking I was having a heart attack.

This works for ALS Patients also. The MS Clinic at Riverside Hospital in Columbus, Ohio also helps with ALS Patients for Baclofen Medicine Pump Inplants and works WONDERFULLY

I noticed when i have a very high stress day I have more trigeminal nerve pain and random stabbing jab pains any place on my body.

The hug, to me feels like that bear hug from the bully that won’t let you loose to breath"..."....

[helentorchlight]

MS is just a very bad life roomer we used to live with. Thank you so much for this great explanations and advices on dealing with MS. 💖👍

I am learning that exercise is one of best strategies to treat pain in me legs, hips and buttocks.

However, I am also learning that I need to know my limits; over do it and I will suffer with parasthesia and pain so severe that I stuggle to stand and walk.

Yet despite the severity of pain, it is the simple things that are most effective like rest, heat packs and Tylenol.

Yes. Dr.B, thank you for validating what we as MS'ers feel but are told it's not your MS explore options with other Specialists. It has been storming here quite a bit, I seem to always experience an onset of pain on days prior. I have TN, lots of meds anything that lets me know my face isn't in a Critical stage is life changing! I just want to be put out of my misery on those days, I can deal with side effects of the medication. The Hug is painful, I can't breathe, my ribs hurt. I would do Optic Neuritis, The Hug any day. Heaven help us to find competent neuros open to all areas of medicine to help us, I wish more doctors were on board with your mindset. Thanks for being here with us to be a guide and influencer!!!

[JennaMonsoon]

Can you explain a bit why so many neurologists and doctors don’t think MS causes pain? How did this rumor get started and how can we change it?

[thechadder]

TN— i was going to the dentist for five years looking for a cracked tooth 🦷
