I had my gallbladder out like 15yr ago, and have suddenly started having what feels like gallstones attacks again. This weekend I projectile vomited after 10 minutes of excruciating pain in my chest and back.

Anybody with MS have the MS hug present like this.

What is it like getting an MS hug? It hurts...a lot #mshug #ms #hug ##multiplesclerosis ##hiddendisabilities

Ok. #ms #mshug ?
I've never had this girdling pain folks talk about, but if I get cold and starting to shiver, my torso has me feeling like my ribs are grinding each other to bone-meal. It'll last 15 minutes of agonizing rib pain as i cant stop shivering. Not like a boa constrictor. Is this mshug?

shoulder, face and eyes, #MShug around my left rib cage became active, left leg became heavy and very #spastic with #dropfoot as well, and all symptoms responded to every stressful thought or stressful spoken word. My neurological “dam” so to speak, that had already been under so much pressure, 3/🧡

This cold weather is triggering MS hugs, not the type of hug I’m wanting (they are so uncomfortable, sigh!) #ms #mshug

Concur. Even "iPad" was better :) RT @joezuc @cyberslate - the #MSHUG hashtag reminds me of the Yiddish word "meshugah." Not a good omen. ;)
