    In my limited experience, yes it is

    I have CIDP and my symptoms tend to ease a fair bit in the afternoons, only to then return in the late afternoon/early evening
    They don’t go completely but do ease a fair bit some days

    I am No expert by any means, but the standard treatment seems to be IVIG and or steroids.
    Ask your doctors about that is what I would suggest

    Do keep an eye on it though, as i found that it got more intense and then I had trouble with standing and balance for a time, that then eased.
    You may well not get that at all, Each of us seem to present with unique symptoms, with some similarities with others.
    So what I have experienced, you may well not .

    Yes it’s a symptom, and a damn annoying one at that.
    I get it more in my feet, but have had it travel as far up as the pit of my stomach, backside etc
    I feel it is the nerves sending signals down damaged or affected nerves, making the muscles contract and relax 100s of times a minute.
    That’s my theory anyway
