What are the causes of MS hug?
Many factors are responsible for an MS hug, some of them include:
Dysesthesia
The effects of multiple sclerosis are mostly seen in the nerves and brain. One of the earliest symptoms of MS is intermittent tingling sensations. These symptoms are clinically referred to as dysesthesia, which is derived from two Greek words that mean “abnormal sensation.”
An MS hug is a type of dysesthesia [1].
Dysesthesia may be caused by a temporary disruption of nerve cells in the brain or spinal cord that send information about physical sensations. Nerves in the body lose their ability to send messages to other parts of the body.
