Reply To: How bad do symptoms need to be before tests show abnormality?

jb, my symptoms started 1 month after the flu shot and are more or less symmetrical. They fit typical CIDP to a T.

If you think you have CIDP, get yourself to a neurologist as soon as you can. Ask for EMG, NCV and a spinal tab and hopefully one of them tells you something. The earlier you are diagnosed the better your long term outcome will be.
