In this video I teach you about a unique pain syndrome in multiple sclerosis called the “MS HUG”. I review what causes Multiple Sclerosis Hug, how it presents clinically, what other conditions it might be confused with, and how to treat it! if you want to learn about MS Hug start watching now!
MS Learn Online is the National MS Society’s online educational webcast series. This video features Mary Hughes, MD, who answers a viewer’s question about the “MS Hug” in multiple sclerosis and how to treat it.
Multiple sclerosis awareness
Multiple Sclerosis has been described (rather well I think) as a snowflake illness. Which means no one person’s symptoms are exactly the same. Which means that people with, say RRMS, may have periods of significant improvement after a replace. If you are interested in more information about such relapses or , as it is often known, the MS Hug please check out our previous blog where our readers share their stories.
So we were wondering how this applies to the multiple sclerosis community.
To help us it would be great if you could take part in the poll below. Thanks very much in advance!
