There is established criteria for CIDP diagnosis published in 2021 I believe. One of the criteria is the electrical testing and wave forms that the criteria specify. There are other things too that are required to fall into the CIDP diagnosis.

Yes, I looked them up and have the other symptoms . I have the demylenization, as demonstrated on the EMG. Wave forms are present.

I have the absent reflexes, weakness and pain in my arms and legs, difficulty walking, including falls.

All of my symptoms are getting worse.

I see my local neuro next week and work from there. Hes on a list of the neuros who are certified to treat CIDP. So maybe he can explain why the specific wave form is so important for diagnosis. The university based neuro calls it idiopathic chronic poly neuropathy. I just wish there was a treatment available because I am becoming more disabled as time passes. Thanks
