Demyelinating means the fatty protective covering of the axon of the nerve cell called the sheath, is damaged, deteriorating, and thus the signals being sent underneath this insulation cannot work properly. Demyelinating lesions occur in the brain also, spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system.

Some of the symptoms you have can also relate to compressed nerves, or trauma to the nerves.
