You should look up gastroparesis concerning the stomach thing. I got that painful condition around the time ms showed its self.

I've had a hug so tight I felt I couldn't breathe. Very scary. The vertigo has been the only thing so far that made me actually vomit. But my hugs seem to be higher than most peoples hugs. Mine affects my shoulders too.

No. Just so painful you can't describe to anyone who hasn't experienced it themselves. 😢 Sounds sweet, bug is the opposite. Hopefully it will ease in a couple of days. Anti-inflammatiries and ibugel tend to help. (And a soak in warm bath)

Wow, I thought that it was just me. I never knew what to call it or how to describe it to my neurologist. I have trouble swallowing certain foods and I choke or vomit. Thank you for posting.

@Jackiel566, I went to a GI Doc. He did a scope and opened my esophagus because I was having a hard time swallowing. The scope showed nothing unusual. I believe your right though. I think our digestive system is slower now. Mine anyway. Feels like the food in my stomach just lays there sometimes and then my stomach feels like it's blowing up. Hurts like the dickens. Never had that problem before MS.
