Dr. first tried IVIG, but hepatitis inflamed liver. Then plasmapheresis about 10 years ago;
there was a slight improvement after that 1st treatment, but not after that. Medical team kept me on plasmapheresis for 6-7 years with no improvement.

When first neurologist retired, I'm still searching for a replacement. these2 years +. I'm hopeful that there is a neurologist with an effective treatment.

Actually, with supplements chosen for my symptoms, I'm stronger and more active without any medical interference. ..including plasmapheresis which only depleted my energy for 3 days!

Yes, I endure weak limbs, tremors & fatigue, but I also can do basic house keeping, as long as husband does grocery shopping. I do use rollator & cane.

@applepi3 I was told IVIG would probably not improve my CIDP but would keep it from getting worse. It has until recently and she upped the dose. Will have to see how it works.
