Reply To: Your Progression of CIDP

I was just diagnosed this week. I woke up one morning in Dec 2016 and both my feet and hands were numb but tingling. It sometimes feels like my socks are wadded up around my toes. My legs are now numb and tingling to about four inches above my knees, my arms tingle and are numb to my elbows. I am now so weak I use a cane. I cant drive, need help into a store to get to a motorized cart. Yesterday was my last day of work – out on short term disability. Sometimes my feet and legs (mostly at night) are so tight, like they are being squeezed or packed into cement. i also sometimes feel like my ribs are being squeezed so tight. Full body vibration off and on like i swallowed a cell phone.. I am on gabapentin, and i am waiting for insurance approval for ivig…
