Q: does ms neuropathy affect all over the body? is there a certain pattern or trend with ms nerve issues?

: There is NO such disease as "MS neuropathy", as multiple sclerosis is a disorder of the central nervous system affecting eyes, brain, and spinal cord. Neuropathy refers to peripheral nerve pathology, caused by such diseases as diabetes, alcohol/nutitional problems, and many others. If you or family members are suffering from MS, recommend an experienced neurologist to get involved.
