please if you can help

Hello Pinky,
I have another syndrome, CIDP, never had GBS and I can’t relate to it, but I just wanted to say WELCOME TO YOUR NEW FAMILY, WHERE WE FEEL WHAT YOU FEEL. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER give up hope! I believe 100% that we are not hopeless.

Give people about three days to respond to your post, we’re in different time zones and we can have good days/bad days.

I LOVE your name. I love puppies and dogs, we have alot of dog people here, my name CODYSTANLEY is my two dogs.

Welcome, Pinky. I can’t offer advice, but I love my Goldens, neighter of which have a pink nose. Drop by for a chat, any time.

Hi Pinky, welcome to the family. if you are in pain you need to talk with your neuro or pcp and get meds that will help control it. pain can be your enemy, it will keep you down when you really need to be getting exercise and moving around. are you getting enough rest? rest is good the more the better. what type of treatments, therapies and meds have you used in the past? more info is helpful. take care.

hi pinky & welcome,

if neurontin does not work you can try elavil, topamax, lamictal, trileptal, keppra, cymbalta, or lyrica . take care. be well.

Lets first get all the facts ……. When were did you detect your first symptoms? Also, have you had any tests, and if so what doctors have you seen? Your breathing doesnt seem to have been affected as you say, but have you had a stay in hospital, and what, if any treatment or meds have you had, or been on? Since the onset seems to have been a number of years back, has there been any improvement. And also, have you had any PT or Ot? I think these questions would help us in helping you a lot. Is it possible you can tell us what area you are from, as there are some people who may be able to contact you directly to help you out … and I know that you know how much that will help you out!

Welcom to the forum!

Hello Pinky,
I think one of the first things you need to do is find a good neurologist who knows about GBS/CIDP. You should also find out if you might now have CIDP. I never had pain, but I know from listening to our family here that it’s real and if I did have pain I would want a doctor who would allow me to try different medications until I found what helps. Your post sounds like you do not have a good neurologist. I went through six neurologists!!!

Please tell us where you live, just a country/state/BIG CITY is enough. We’ll try to help you find a doctor and there might be a forum member near you.
