A member asked:

Does anyone have really mild chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, making diagnosis uncertain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CIDP: Not unique to have diagnostic challenges to confirm cidp. Most cases create significant weakness, but early on, it may be difficult to confirm, as even nerve biopsies may not be helpful. Best to check EMG for characteristic findings. Spinal fluid protein elevation may help.
