neuropathy worse

Hi All: This feels like I am alone in an old building looking for anyone. It is strange having all the old messages from when I first joined in 2006 back up like this. I hope everyone has come back ok to the forum, though it seems pretty dead.
It has been a rough month. I found out that I have kidney cancer, though the good news is that we caught it early. I will have surgery to have the tumor removed. I really recommend periodic scans for everyone-there are no symptoms to this cancer and I only caught it because I had kidney stones. Failing to catch it early make the disease much worse-so keep checking when you can.
In addition my neuropathy has worsened. It got worse a few years ago, then stabilized and now is worse again than at any time since GBS. I went to the neurologist and had the Nerve conduction test. The neurologist said it was a typical pattern for GBS though I had the disease 6 years ago. Everything is slow. Unfortunately noone would give me the test after I got out of the hospital so we can’t tell if the situation is worse or not. He told me there were three possiblities: CIDP, degenerative disk disease and a worsening of residuals for unknown reasons. I have no increased muscle weakness so doubt it is CIDP, though he told me there are cases of CIDP with neuropathy and no muscle weakness. I believe it may be post-GBS syndrome but don’t know. But he also told me that I have jumpy reflexes which is not usual in CIDP or GBS. I will have a MRI next week to rule out degenerative disk disease and MS and see him again on Feb. 10. Depending on the results of the MRI he may want to do a course of IVIG just to see if it helps. Has anyone experienced a worsening like this? Given the cancer diagnosis I really don’t want to deal with neuropathy, but my doctor urged me to find out what was happening just in case I can do something about it.
Anyway, welcome back to everyone. I checked the site while it was down and missed the input and contact with you all. Jeff
