Please be aware that CIDP is almost always preceded by GBS. GBS is the triggering disease in the majority of these CIDP cases. GBS itself is often triggered by H1N1 and other “flu shots”. Making this connection is vital in pursuing a complaint against the NCVP.

There is a recent NVCP amendment in the works at the Health Services and Research Administration (HRSA) here:

This amendment, if adopted, will give CIDP sufferers more rights to make claims against the NVCP program.

A description of how the NVCP process works and costs ($400 filing fee) is here:

The onset date is the date following your Flu shot that you first started feeling GBS symptoms.
