Reply To: A few questions? New and scared

Gsim, where are you getting your information on remission? You need to understand that there is a great deal of variability in the course of CIDP, if that is indeed what you have. Another person’s experience is only an example of a pissible outcome, not a predictor of yours. I seem to be in remission, but that does not mean that my treatment would produce the same result for everyone. My result is due to the particular details of my body and the disorder which developed, which are unknown, as much as to the treatment.

I know this message is not satisfying, because people naturally want answers. But because you cannot know the answer to how things will turn out, it is better to focus on a different question: where can you get the best diagnosis and treatment for your condition?
