Hi, Melody.
I am new here just now. read your post.
Re:cidp, my first neuro said i had cidp and treated me for it w/IVIG and it made me sick as a dog, like the worst flue i have very had maybe worse. anyway she quit her practice to have a family so i go to another neuro and he said I don't think you have cidp because your reflexes are to good and you would not have reflexes in the ankles w/cidp. then he and another neuro said it was coming from my back, went to a bone surgon and he said no, so next neuro said i had diabetes, diabetes DR. and other dr.s said not so????
my reflexes and muscle strength is ok, but feet, legs, left arm and left side of face burn. so now looking into Small Fiber neuropathy, have you heard if this? they do acouple of test for this a skin test and a sweat test. well enough for now. will check back. good luck.
