Hey, Kraai.
Well, I'm no rocket surgeon, but since your immune system is attacking your nervous system (myelin sheath of your nerves) in CIDP, then boosting it, in theory, would increase the amount of damage your body is doing to itself.
That's why they give IVIg to CIDP patients...to suppress the immune system and replace the Ig with that of other donors who do not have our personal antibodies which attack our own myelin sheathing and nerves.
If it were me, I wouldn't try to boost the very part of your body which is damaging your nervous system.
Don't know about the fibro aspect, but if you are confirmed CIDP, I'd ask your doctor and he/she may give you a better explanation.
Be well!
