Virus…

I believe that there is just so much doctors don’t know at this point. There isn’t a lot of money put into research for “orphan diseases” because it doesn’t affect a lot of people, compared to illnesses such as MS. I seriously believe that both GBS & CIDP are most often caused by some sort of virus, maybe in GBS the virus has run its course, thus the better recovery. But it is possible in CIDP that the virus that initially caused the problem is still in the system? That could be why it is a chronic illness? I was just a teacher, but I am saying that you might have something here. I am so sorry that your son has to go through all of this crap, it is bad enough at my age. Give him my blessings, I hope he goes into remission soon…
