Hello @mrsfitz, Welcome to Connect. While we wait for those members to share personal experience you might be interested in the following information I found on the topic.

"Other studies suggest only a rare association with influenza vaccine citing an incidence of 1 or 2 excess cases of GBS over expected per million ..." --- GBS|CIDP Foundation International Position on Flu Shots and Vaccinations: https://www.gbs-cidp.org/support/resources/flu-shots-and-vaccinations/

Do you mind sharing a little more about how and when you were diagnosed with CIPD?
