Reply To: Your Progression of CIDP

Sarah my cipd started in December 2012, while splitting firewood my hands started slipping on the axe and carrying the wood indoors was getting harder. My doctor tried everything for 5 months(last thing was mri of the brain) then referred me to a neurologist who ordered a spinal mri both negative. My muscle weakness had progressed and I started limping, my neurologist then did the nerve conductivity test and a spinal tap which showed abnormal protein level his diagnosis is cipd but a mild variation.
I had the plasma therapy july starting on the 9th, I walked into the hospital with a cane and walked out without one. In the short time since the therapy my strength is back, limp is gone and i feel very good only problem is leg fatigue at work (8 hours standing sucks). I am lucky that my doctors responded to my symptoms quickly and got me the treatment I needed, hope you get results like mine, I truly endorse the plasma exchange I felt better 3 hours after 1st treatment.
