I am so sorry to hear this, Blacksburg mama. I hope you get your apartment soon. Divorce and separation are all too common with rare disease patients, as are misdiagnosis and referral to psych. I hope you can get a recommendation here for a more knowledgeable doctor. Keep posting on the discussion forum -- it should help getting "backup" from our members here. We need more awareness about CIDP, for sure.

We all do hope for a "more knowledgeable" doctor but the sad fact is that even many of the most knowledgeable docs available may actually know less about your condition than you do if you have been able to do some diligent research because (putting it simply) - we are special people - with something quite rare that even the most knowledgeable do not fully understand. So momma - now you have that to deal with as well as those other distractions in your life.
Those of us in more stable situations just have to admire your intestinal fortitude (we have a less polite word for that here - but I desisted...).
I hope someone close to you can give you that introduction and please do continue to post here. People might not respond but you can just bet their thoughts are with you and more strength to you!!!

Dancermom

needs to be out as same as diabetes
.Because some docs look at me as if I just pulled the disease out of the air ndmyy to make you feel as i I my
If your symptoms are in your head.
