CIDP in combination with other diseases

    • February 12, 2025 at 12:03 pm

      Hey you out there, 

      is there someone who has diagnosed with CIDP in combination with another primary or secondary disease?

      Maybe some people who has the diagnosis CIDP and later on a combination with MS which was not found early?

      Do you know the deep and strong intuition feeling inside that there’s something extra going on?

      Hey Alexago,

      I am one of the “lucky” ones to have been diagnosed with multiple conditions. First, I found out that I have CVID (Common Variable Immunodeficiency). Then, about 8 years later, I started having new symptoms. It took another 2 years for multiple neurologists to determine that I have CIDP. It’s highly likely that my CVID led to my attacks of CIDP, but so few patients have CIDP (and even fewer have both), the verdict is still out.

      I never did feel like something extra was going on, but once my CIDP symptoms began, I definitely suspected that my wonky immune system had to be the culprit.

      Good luck to you!
