I'm still being diagnosed. I have MS type lesions on my brain. My symptoms were mostly brain fog, increasing vestibular migraines, and fatigue- but I also have Sjogren's, sarcoidosis, peripheral neuropathy, and interstitial lung disease, all of which could explain those symptoms. At first I thought the torso spasms were caused by coughing, but I cough all the time. The torso spasms come and go for days or weeks, then vanish for months.

MShugs are very real, and painful. It’s not a hug. It’s brutal!

The HUG is at the name suggests , a very firm "bear hug" or like an anaconda squeezing you, for alot (inc myself) lasts weeks.

NaydaLawson. I have vestibular migraines, fatigue, brain fog and peripheral neuropathy. You have alot on your plate. I was misdiagnosed with MS 50 years ago. There are many types of brain lesions. Migraines for example can produce non MS lesions.

I get a spasm on my left side upper rib cage - ironically I always used to get it when I was doing sit up in my younger years…… now I get them from the tiniest crunch or twist…..I’ve apparently had MS for many years and did not know it.
So yes it could be MS
