IVIG therapy, steroids and immunotherapy, stem cell transplant along with plasma exchange is the treatment for CIDP according to the medical journal I have been reading since they (the doctors) want to test me for CIDP. Reading up on this I have tested positive for over four years for the EBV. GBS results from problems with EBV. EBV- Epstein bar virus
GBS- Gullian Barre Syndrome
Once started on iVIG therapy you are supposed to remain on it. IVIG therapy helps your immune system. You quit IVIG therapy it is supposed to progressively get worse fast according to the medical journals I have been reading. I was on IVIG therapy from 10-18. Dr Oaklander a research neurologist in Boston told me I would not be in as bad shape today if I would have remained on IVIG therapy.
Current diagnosis
SFN, CAD (cardiac autonomic neuropathy), severe sensorimotor peripheral polyneuropathy.

Yes I would say your comments are correct for a positive diagnosis of CIDP or EBV …my diagnosis is hazy to say the least .
