Reply To: looking for a CIDP-specialist

My case is somehow similar to your mother’s, KKearney. I am 82 years old and I was dignosed with CIDP four years ago after blood tests and many MRI’s showed no sign of stroke. With older patients that is what doctors first suspect. Nerve conduction tests also showed demyalation. I live in a small Florida town but once I had a dignosis I only have to travel to the nearest small city where a young neurologist monitors my treatment. There is so little known about CIDP and every case is different that I see no advantage in looking for a specialist.
