Hello M&M Angel and welcome to NeuroTalk.

Do you mean you are diagnosed with Sensorimotor polyneuropathy?

Quote:
Neuropathy means a disease of, or damage to nerves. When it occurs outside of the brain or spinal cord, it is called a peripheral neuropathy.

If this is the case this would not mean MS. MS is a disease of the Central Nervous System (Brain, spinal cord, optic nerves). PN happens outside the Central Nervous System(CNS).

Information about Peripheral Neuropathy
