CIDP/GBS

Posted by bjbates53 @bjbates53, Sep 27, 2023

I was diagnosed with CIDP in 2001. My neurologist says it is no longer active and the weakness I experience with exertion is from nerve damage. Anyone else have the same problem? I’m having difficulties exercising without wiping out for several days.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

@bjbates53 Have you had this severe fatigue since you were first diagnosed? Has it gotten worse? There is an ongoing CIDP support group that you may wish to check out . Someone there might have good advice.

Do you have a link to share about CIDP - chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy?

Thank you very much for the help John. I appreciate the information.

I watched the video. I saved the neuropathy foundation account so I can read up and listen to them.

The doctor woud not recommend over the counter (otc) supplements and left it to consumer to try or not try “otc” vitamins etc.

Thank you again for the link. I will use it as a resource for information.
