Reply To: Autonomic dysfunction despite IVIG

My blood pressure was perfectly normal until I developed CIDP. Then it became erratic and required multiple medications. I spent a night in an ER because it was in the stroke range, over 200 systolic, and wouldn’t go down. Then it started dropping as low as 80/49 during infusions. My cardiologist needed weeks to get it stable. It’s all right now, but I have to keep a close watch on it. All the doctors involved agree that CIDP is the cause of the instability.
