Default Anyone's MS start like this?

Since May I have had a partial loss of sensation spread from my hands and feet up until, now, it covers my entire body. I still have some sensation everywhere, but also partial numbeness EVERYWHERE. Now I just seem to be growing more numb as the days and weeks pass.

I am scheduled for brain MRI and EEG soon, as I have not yet been diagnosed, but I have had neurologists in the past suggest that I had early MS due to other strange symptoms ultimately labeled "atypical migraine."

Does the progressive partial numbness covering your entire body sound familiar to anyone? Seems like many people have numbness, but only one one side, or only certain parts. Not EVERYWHERE. I am really truly hoping at this point that it is MS and not CIDP. The latter sounds more difficult to manage. I'm desperate for a diagnosis.

BTW I am 18 weeks pregnant, also, but neither the neurologist nor the OB think this is related to pregnancy, as it began with tingling in a few fingers prior to conception.

Thanks!
