    I understand your reply and I thank you.

    If I may pick your brain some more, is there a test to determine CIDP? Nerve test? Blood test? Or is it a general consensus given the symptoms? Or do they, given the “likelihood” of CIDP, administer PE and/or IVIG to see if problem goes away? Lastly, what is PE? Oh and one more thing please, is this common knowledge between neurologist, assuming thats the type needed to be seen, or should be try to find a neurologist that specializes in this field.

    Thanks a million,

    Dear Jim

    I very much appreciate the reply.

    The neurologist did have CIDP in mind though I’m not sure of the exact testing.

    The issue is the reporting of not being able to walk as much or as fast has been going on for about 3 years, not weeks as most CIDP symptoms.

    Does this trigger any ideas?

    Thanks again…..
