      well they were normal indicating that peripheral involvement at least in small nerve fiber has never occured.
      ruled out so far
      amyloidosis
      vasculitis
      multiple sclerosis
      cidp/gbs
      lupus and other connective tissue disorders-at least in the past now test are coming up mildly possitive
      devics/NMO

      tranverse myelitis and myosthenia gravis still possibilities but they would have to occur together to cover all my symptoms
      possibilities still out there are

      endless

      any suggestions?

      Hi Tara,
      I have a ? for u. If your skin biopsy is normal does that automatically rule out CIDP? I am scheduled for a skin biopsy (my 1st) in 2 weeks. I had not made that connection.

      I have an appointment with Dr. Sahegian in March. I wish it could be sooner. Any advice?

      My doctor here emailed me that I have 3 sets of diagnostic criteria: Common Variable Immune Deficiency which led me to have Ongoing Connective Tissue Disease which led me to CIDP. Thus I have a high Sed Rate, high CRP and high Interluken 1. Does that make any sense???????????

      Thanks.
