Reply To: Additional Autoimmune Disorders Plus CIDP

Hi Jim-LA, Thanks for all of the valuable information…Interestingly, I also developed diabetes during the last 4 years. I have peripheral neuropathy with pain in my feet. Since my last post I met with my rheumatologist and since I am going off of IVIG he is putting me on Rituxan. I will be getting my first dose in about three weeks or as soon as my insurance company agrees to pay for it!!! When I was diagnosed with CIDP four years ago they ruled out CMT first and got the diagnosis of CIDP through Sural nerve biopsy. I bought some ALA but have not taken it yet. My neurologist said he did not have a problem with me taking it.
