MedHelp Member's Question

Sensory neuropathies, What are they??

by santana8, Apr 09, 2008 02:55PM

I just looked up the Wartrenberg's migratory sensory neuropathy that doc 72 had posted a question about. It seems there are several sensory neuropathies and I noticed that some of them are compared to the early symtoms of MS. I also noticed that some of them even have white matter lesions. Does anyone know what sensory neuropathy is and what is the difference in it and regular neuropathy? I read it but still do not fully understand the difference!

Hmmm... without resorting to Google, sensory neuropathy is a disease (pathy) of the nerves that affects your senses. This includes numbness, tingling, burning, etc.

I read that part, but what I am really wondering is it an MS mimic, part of MS and does it look simular to MS on MRI?
