Hi,
I'm currently 10 wks pregnant and am experiencing an MS relapse for about a week now following a bout with the flu. What started as light pins and needles/numbess on both my feet & hands led to being numb and tingly on both sides of my body from feet to chest. The worst part of this all is what's apparently called the MS hug. A feeling that I'm consistently being squeezed around my chest/rib cage. I don't have any chest pain but when i have trouble coughing and what not as my chest feels "paralyzed". Has anyone whose experienced this offer any advise? I've had symptoms of this for 5 days now with zero relief and am getting worriers it wont go away and could be permanent. I hate being on medication while pregnant especially in the 1st trimester by I just started day 1 of a 3 day dose of solu medrol.
Thank you in advance.
