I am so delighted that there is such support for the Outcome Study. The survey was mailed to the approximately 650 patients who have identified themselves to us as having CIDP. If you have CIDP and have not received a mailing by the end of this week (5/18), please call the office and ask that one be sent to you. We will keep your name confidential. The reason why it went only to CIDP patients is because there is a larger use of IVIG among this group of people. We will make results known to those on our mailing list but it will be some time before we get the surveys analyzed.

[B]Hi Barbara,
Would it be possible for me to fill out the survey even though my Frank passed away. I have so much knowledge to share. He had CIDP and did receive IVIG and Medicare gave him such a hard time in getting his IVIG.
Please let me know if it’s possible.
Thank You Barbara[/B]

[B]I had filled out the Foundation’s questionaire a few years ago because Frank couldn’t write , but this must be a different questionaire they sent out.I’m hoping the Foundation will send me the new forms, if not Codystanley (Liz) is making me a copy to fill out.[/B]

I filled out my survey and only wished I coulda added 10 written pages for my personal comments. The IVIG shortage hit me twice and I was scared to no end that the horrid pain would return. It tried to. It has.
I had the insurance coverage but no access to IVIG. I joked the nursing staff better be more watchful as someone may sneak a few hypos of IVIG from sleeping infusion patients drip bags……
Several wonderful folks had their insurance deny them and I was more than willing to let them share mine if possible””’
Please somehow let the people in power make IVIG lower in price. $ 54,000 a month is just…unjust.
