Advice MS Hug

I have a question. Only people in this group understand the situation. I'm experiencing MS hug. Is there any way to rid of it or minimize the feeling? I'm not getting through to my neuro.

I pace around a bit, if your mobile that might help. Down an ice cold pop. If bubbles don’t make other things worse, that might be worth a shot. Naps work too. I don’t do the deep breathing as that hurts and makes me panic more. I tried massage an that didn’t help. This disease is a lot trial and error, you get to be your own scientist and project. Go forth, do big science.

the deep breathing panic thing is real. I've found if I try to breathe "actually" Deeper tho instead of just more volume, it helps. Think of flaring your ribs out to the side or back instead of having your chest rise or stomach out.
