I was diagnosed with CIDP 4 1/2 years ago. My neurologist in New York City, Dr. Adam Bender, started me immediately on 60 grams of IVIG every month in three infusions. I am a 67-year-old male. And my disease had progressed very rapidly. I am happy to say that the disease has stop progressing. My strength is somewhat better, and my fatigue is not as bad.  
I know that I will never be cured of this disease, I expect that there will be a relapse in the future. But I want to encourage everyone to hang in there. Follow your doctor’s orders. And most important, enjoy the good days as much as you can. Best wishes to all of you. John
