New Jersey?

I live in northern MN, so will have to miss this New Jersey get together, sorry. A few years ago, I went to see our local dermatologist for dry skin & he mentioned that he had 6 other patients with CIDP. I live in a small rural area, population of my town being 7,000. But there are a lot of small mining towns in this area that also use this clinic. But still, I was very surprised. Of course, he could not give me any names; said he would ask them if they would like my name. I am sure he forgot the minute I walked out the door.

Come to think of it, my son does all of the IT for this clinic system, I could ask him to hack in CIDP & see what names he comes up with? I am just kidding, of course. My roommate at Mayo 7 years ago had CIDP. We didn’t realize at that time how rare it was to have two such severe cases together as roommates, even to meet another with such a severe case!
