antibodies

yes i had a paraneoplastic panel and was positive for vgkc (potassium antibodies) which was then diagnosed as an immune disorder causing cidp?? not a lot of info out there on it–I do not currently have any cancer. I asked if i should be seeing an immunologist (?sp) dr that specilizes in immune system disorders instead of a neurologist but my primary dr didnt seem to think so. I thought so–since the immune system is the problem and the cidp is secondary to that–but i guess that would mean all of us with cidp should be thinking of that since its all immune related???? Lori
