I have had a similar journey as you and had brain MRI’s to rule out MS. Both negative for MS. I do think getting cervical and lumbar MRIs would be helpful to else if you have any MS lesions or spinal cord/disc/peripheral nerve issues. I have cervical/lumbar severe spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and small fiber neuropathy. Have you already had upper/lower EMGs, nerve conduction studies and small fiber neuropathy (SFN) skin punch biopsy? Have you ever talked with your neurologist about chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy? Arachnoiditis? SFN affects your sensory and autonomic nervous systems. Have you ever had a HIDA scan to check your gallbladder function (if you still have yours)? My gallbladder stopped working and was causing abdominal pain (ejected only 7% bile when it should be a minimum of 35-40%).

P.S. The acronym is CIDP for the chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy if you want to research it.
