Well the good news is that this test is much more sensitive, so it has picked up on damage that a regular EMG might not have otherwise. This gives you some amunition (and confidence?) to perhaps pursue this further with the doctor.

The bad news is that it might not be replicated with the other tests that we would normally undergo with MS.

It is probably worth mentioning to your doc though, once you find out what the "severe nerve damage" is. To explain it clearly to the doc, you would need to know how the tester came to the conclusion that he did, i.e. did he say that no messages were getting through at all, or
