Yes Alma, it will work. When my foot was vibrating all the time, my doctor said the same thing. It is not actually vibrating but my brain is perceiving it's vibrating. It still happens, but I just try to concentrate on the fact that it is in my mind and not in my foot!! ;)

Do you go to your local MS support group meeting? I don't have the MS Hug but have known a lot of people who do. Perhaps some one can give you a tip or not. I have no idea. I haven't paid enough attention because it is not on my radar.

Two people I know when to the ER thinking that they had a heart problem and they were checked for heart issues because the doctors in the ER were not familiar with the MS Hug. Anyway, they didn't have any heart problem, it just felt that way. My one friend then went to her neuro doc and was treated with steroids and her MS Hug went away. Both of these people had the MS hug that went away. But there was nothing wrong with their insides. But the docs had to check to make sure. There is always the possibility.

I don't know of any other thing that can help but I think that I have heard of something that does. So please ask your neuro doc for help in this matter. I hate to see you suffer for this.

I do get something like this in my toes, but it comes and goes. It is not something that is really troubling. There is nothing wrong with my toes and it has spread over the years so I know it is a MS symptom.

I often have the perception that I won the Lottery but at the end of the day I still cannot convince myself that I have millions of dollars to mindlessly spend.

So it depends on what kind of mindset you have. Some folks can easily transcend into another dimension while others cannot. My endless MS Hug has never gone away so I have learned to live with it; just like I have learned to live without winning the lottery.

I must be silly what is a ms hug I never heard of it?

i am writing on an old fashioned palm pilot so i dont if this will respond right. here goes;
MS Hug is a tight feeling on your skin like someone is hugging you very tightly.
it used to be called a girdle feeling. it is usually around your middle like wearing a tight girdle but also around your chest.

Ravenous,,,LOL

A hug makes you feel like your torso is wrapped very tight and you can't remove it, at the beginning its horrible, but later one gets used to it,,,now I'm trying to " win the lotto" LOL,,,I needed that.

Thanks never had that feeling in my 12 years of fun and joy.

i have the hug learned to live with it but i have it in my foot to the right side i cant spread my toes apart i hate the feeling of it .so i just some times take a muscle relaxer im going back to tonic water it really helps with the tight feeling and the spasms just know god is with you and you can live with it we wont die from this .love ya april
