Default CIDP - the FLU - and PN????

I know several of you have CIPD - but others may be able to help too - help? I didnt get a flu shot this year (usually did until IVIG - and helped immensely) - this year my IVIG was stopped mid-year by in insurance company and I was going to try to get a shot - but instead got the FLU big time - sick a week today - high fever for over 5 days - now in chest and head, less then zero energy, etc.... an infection like this triggered my PN in the first place... and I'm getting scared - I cant take any extra supplements cause I'm still on only Ensure diet so I'm losing weight and getting down couple Ensure and some broth a day - but gut cant handle any more..... I have some stomach tests coming up that hopefully by next week will be able to go to and tolerate - and looks like I'll be able to start up IVIG end up January - but have to get thru this first.... could this type of infection trigger an acute reaction in someone already with CIDP? (GBS?)

Any thoughts????
