wartenbergs migratory sensory neuropathy

[Melissa072]

I am just curious I was on the net the other week and come across wartenbergs mirgratory sensory neuropathy, does anyone know anything about it or know anyone who has been dx with it?
It said it's a ms mimic and can be mistaken for the early stages of ms.
I would like to know more about it.

I have never heard of this disease, but am always curious about any MS mimics....

I found this interesting info....

There isn't much else out there, but maybe this will help.

I just looked this up to read about it. But I still don't understand exactly what it is. It seems there are several sensory neuropathies and it appears that they can involve white matter lesions as well in some of them. I am going to put a post on the first page to see if anyone can tell us anymore information about the differences in these .

I have Wartenbergs migratory sensory neuritis and in the intial stages was tested for numberous things, I would love to find someone else out there with this as there is so little information to be found about it

I looked up this unique disease on Wikipedia and on it is a link to an article that describes the condition and how it presents, etc. It was published in a neurology journal years ago. Just google the title:  The migrant sensory neuritis of Wartenberg.

It can also be found on PubMed by entering the above title or  just the disease name.

I have had Wartenberg's migratory sensory neuropathy symptoms for the past 20 years.  Only recently (within the past few years) did a neurologist diagnose it as that.  If you have questions about it, feel free to ask.
