Thanks for the reply.

Well he doesn't really know if it's CIDP. All of his previous guesses were wrong so he is probably wrong with this too.

I agree I shouldn't be waiting so long since this is progressing so quickly. I may give them a call tomorrow to see if I can come in sooner. I don't know why he wants to wait so long. Maybe he has a reason and it would be nice to know that if he does.

I'll have to see if the VA will approve a neuromuscular doc. They have a process so in order to approve I need to see what requirements they have to approve the referral.

Is there any way you can pursue this diagnosis outside the VA system? It seems it takes so long to get anything done and time is not on your side. If you have any other options I would exercise them.
