The
symptoms are often similar involving
difficulty in moving limbs,
loss of position sense, strange
sensations, and temporary paralysis
of a limb and so forth. I remember
the nurse who told me she one
morning could not move her feet
while driving and soon after
was diagnosed with MS! I told
her of the time I stood up and
then could not move my feet
and soon after was diagnosed
with neuropathy. We call this
temporary paralysis and it happens
both in MS and in neuropathy.
It is important for neuropathy patients to be tested for MS to rule this out because of many of the similarities of symptoms.
The basic difference is that in MS, the disease damage is found in the brain resulting in the failure of the brain to transmit correct signals to the peripheral nerves, whereas with Peripheral Neuropathy the damage is to the peripheral nerves at the ends of the electrical system of the human body and the problem is in transmitting correct signals back to the brain.
