Reply To: Newly diagnosed with CIDP

In an article in the Jan 2020 Neurology and Therapy by Dr. Allen, the Chairman of the GBS-CIDP Advisory board writes about the misdiagnosis of cidp.  quote “over-reliance on elevations in cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration in indeterminate ranges.”

I have the Lewis-Sumner variant of CIDP, also called MADSAM.  Multifocal Acquired Demyelinating Sensory and motor neuropathy.

At no time have I had elevated CSF.
