Can you please tell me more about your symptoms and testing that lead to your diagnosis? And how long it took you to get a diagnosis? Please keep us posted!

I’ve recently been referred from rheumatology to neurology. I’m currently ataxic and experiencing tremors after switching from Cosentyx to Remicade for Axial Spondyloarthropathy. I did some research after I had an EMG that showed axonal neuropathy and was thinking that perhaps CIDP might be the issue. My doctors are currently focused on ruling out MS and myelitis. At this point finding something, anything, would be a relief.

Greetings, pm56: At present, I do not have a diagnosis of CIDP. The neurologist has indicated that what she sees on the upper extremity EMG does not indicate simple PN, so more diagnostic tests are to be conducted. She listed several possible diagnoses including CIDP and also a pinched nerve in my neck which could be the cause so an MRI has been ordered to explore that possibility. I've just started along the path to getting a definitive diagnosis.

Best wishes to you as you search for answers and treatment.
