Hi Forum members,
Wow again, what a first day here. There were some new topics and studies going on. Alot of funding from the foundation it seems.
so far we had Asbury, Gorson, Jacobs, Brown, Lewis, Willison(what a character) and Sheikh. did some good speaches.
Gorson came out with a new categorizing system with an impressive 11% cure rate for CIDP. Unfortuneately he is big on keep trimming back the drugs and wait for relapse. As at the last symposium, he is big on people getting ivig and not needing it. he is optimistic they may be in remission and is willing to let the patient relapse then retreat. In a perfect world that may be ok, but when you can’t see them for like 3-4 months that don’t work. Anyway
They filmed all the sessions that will be available online somehow, so everyone can watch it at some point.
Saw and talked with Liz and Cathy, saw Markens and chatted a few moments.
some familiar faces and alot of new ones as well. many first timers.–tim– -
