I have been googling all day trying to get info on neuropathy and MS keeps poping up. My question would be this-according to the info I read, a MS flare happens when inflammation gets into the CNS (central nervous system) and causes lesions. Ok, got that part. My blood work shows little, active inflammation according to the sed rate and a c-reactive protein rate. Can you have MS and have your blood work show little to no inflammation??

However, I have a lot of neurological symptoms and visible swelling which the rheumy says is from neuropathy and not ra. My girlfriend, who is fresh out of med school and does family practice mentioned I should have a MRI of my brain and neck to rule out MS. Anyone have any info on this?
