I also wasn’t sure if my bowel and bladder issues were just age related nd female, or was it part of my neuropathy.
It just seems like my whole body has become affected now.
Right now my right hand is weak and numb and my left is fine.
Is this also part of my CIDP or is it a different cause?
I have an upcoming Neuro appt in few weeks.
Let’s see what he thinks it’s caused by.
I can’t even hold a pen and write or sign my name.
Very upsetting!

Hello, @harley22
I have a situation that runs somewhat parallel to yours. I find that every 4-5 days, I'll feel some new little ache or ouch and be pulled back into thinking about my neuropathy ("Can this be some new PN symptom?"). So, just when I think full acceptance is about to let me get through the day without dwelling on my neuropathy, the new ache or ouch will yank me back into giving it thought once again. I say this, and yet I believe that acceptance doesn't mean never thinking about your PN; instead, it means thinking about it in a way that doesn't make it seem overwhelming or cosmically unfair.
Cheers!
