I am a very ill woman who doesn't have a diagnosis and am desperately looking for one. For a while I suspected CIDP, but the neurologists I've seen told me I cannot have this because: 1. if I did, my reflexes would be bad, and mine are good;2. I would have respiratory problems; 3. my balance would be poor. Which brings me to these questions: do all of you who have a CIDP diagnosis have, indeed, bad reflexes, bad balance and respiratory problems?
