I appreciate all your careful responses…. I do have some concerns tho?

In that you are assuming that I’ve a diabetic PN leading to the CIDP. I do NOT. I have been tested more times for this aspect than one could wish for, desire or care to have!
Please take a look at this oft cited ‘site’ and see where it can take one?

Definitively? Diabetes was off MY medical list from the get go. Still is! And I’ve been following the ‘program’ of diet and meds [IVIG] with regulation. No variants there. I have a definite autoimmune response and it’s doing a number on me. I went ‘downhill’ last year starting in March. Now? It seems to be happening again. I am not a happy camper? I am likely scheduled for more testing in the near future? But I do suspect it will ALL be inconclusive. WHY?Because I’ve a heap of other ‘mitigating factors’ coming into play. And, all of those other factors can mess up the most simple of #’s for an ‘immune-mutated person!’ No one knows which of which what factors are ‘contributing’? All [B]I KNOW[B][/B][/B] is that at times when I walk now? I lose whatever strength I’ve re-achieved after an injury. It is disheartening at worst? At best? Just a ‘bummer’.

You will find that there is NO definitive definition of pain/s and there is no constant standard of PAIN as we know it.

Sad state of affairs in my humble opinion? It IS SUBJECTIVE and there are no/zero standards for degrees of pain that we might suffer. IF we can get beyond this? We mite get treated in a timely manner w/few long term consequences.
Yuehan? I admire your researching for crumbs of hope? But LOOK at that ‘Trial’? TEN PEOPLE? That’s not a trial… medically that’s ‘casual observance’!
And I do not want to chew nails or wood to get me thru this all? My docs now are GOOD! I am grateful. AND LUCKY!
Right now folks? I’m looking for either a smoking gun or a very large 2″x4″ to start swinging. [tho not to my current docs?-it’s the prior ones who let me down big time!] I am getting to the point where I feel my ‘immune system’ will start eating me up? And, then in a couple of years? You won’t have me to nudge folks!
Hope and hugs and LEARN all! Defend yourself from IGNORANCE or Laziness in the medical community [Who, by their own statements IS NEVER WRONG-except for the lawsuits?] Go get those docs’ brains working and working for YOU!
