CIDP and the Covid Vaccine

At 65, I was diagnosed with CIDP in 2019. I started with neuropathy in my left toe and subsequently - 8 months later - I had a rapid neuropathy advance to my right foot and right shin. I believe this was caused by a series of life stress events that hit me concurrently in a 4 week period. I developed a significant drop foot in my right foot. I had 16 weeks if IVIG treatments and 5 weeks after the last IVIG, I had Exosomes injected into my right leg which caused the drop to go away! Fatigue was an issue with me and I was prescribed Amantadine. Here is the COVID key!! Amantadine is a wonderful drug for COVID symptom relief. Google it! I remain unvaxxed - and confident! Mayo did an exceptional job in providing me with IVIG treatments. Blessedly, my CIDP has not advanced.

I'm glad you are doing well! Thank you for sharing the information about amantidine. Was amantidine prescribed because you had Covid? Did your Mayo neurologist prescribe it?
