I've had CIDP for 4yrs now. I go to the University of Minnesots to Drs. Now last Wednesday they tell me I may not have CIDP. i've been getting IVIG for 4 yrs every 2 to 3 week and Steroids by IV for the last 4 months they don't like the way the nerve's are demyelinating. Only thing is they still haven't told me what it could be The Dr. i'm seeing is suppose to be one of the Universities best in the field of Neuropathies. I don't know where to turn I've had a bad experience with the mayo years ago. So you can see I'm not ready to jump on the mayo band wagon right yet. I was a guinea pig for them back in 1988 when they where doing Roux-en-Y stomach surgery sure I lost 150 lbs but they just dropped all of us never followed up with any of us after we were done with the basics not a word never told us we should be taking certain vitamins or supplements which I feel they should have at least sent a letter to expatients.
