Welcome Shell…

We are glad that you came to visit us, although we are sorry for the condition that you have that necessitated it… I have CIDP and it seems a rather mild version of it… I have not had to take any treatments and am still in remission… I have some residual conditions…fatigue, sensitive fingers, and some muscle spasms happen occasionally… The pins and needles in my hands have about disappeared except when I use my hands too much… I also am not able to stand in one place for more than a minute or two… Walking does not bother me except that I walk stiffly and have some difficulty with balance… I use my cane except when I am at home or in my classroom (I am a special education teacher) where I feel secure in having something to steady me nearby…

Must quit typing now… Hope to see you post again…

Aimee
(CIDP diagnosed 8/24/05)
