Well,
That is a touchy subject. Kevin was originally dx w/gbs, whe symptoms recurred, we waited it out and did the rest thing thinking it was residuals, which are kind of like a flare up. We did this for about 6 months and finally used a repeat ncv/emg to measure any differences and in fact it was cidp. So I guess if you think it is a relapse, it could in fact be cidp. There is recurring gbs, but I do not believe it is common? I guess the only diagnostic tool would be the ncv/emg comparison??? Not sure???? Trying to figure out the difference between residual gbs and cidp is so hard, I pray for you so that you are strong.
