It is certainly true that I originally had some loss of strength and movement indicating motor involvement. On both of my emg's my neuro said that there was a slight abnormality however was only very minor and it could be inflammation and that it did not really give him any clue as to what it might be.

Would MS cause these body wide sensory changes in the presence of two normal MRI's? Does it often take time for these peripheral neuropathies such as CIDP to show up in nerve studies?
