I have been fortunate the past 4 1/2 years not to have developed a cold, but I have been off of all treatments for CIDP since Septemberof 2003. But when I was on IVIG I was also put on Imuran, which is an immunosuppressant. Since it supresses the immune system (making the white blood cell count lower?), it might make it more difficult to fight colds & any infections. I have not heard of this problem from others with CIDP. It sure sounds like you are doing great overall though; back at work, wow. I could only dream about teaching again, way to go!
