Default Well, we certainly did think the thought--

--when you first mentioned it over at the old Braintalk.

Thing is, most of the time, CIDP has primarily motor symptoms, which Alan does not seem to have, at least not to any extent.

Guillain Barre Syndrome is also generally primarily a motor neuropathy, although there are sensory symptoms that ocur with it quite often, and are often the first to show.

There are, however, primarily or exclusively sensory variants of both CIDP and Guillain Barre, apparently, and more research is starting to address them:
