Does cidp reduce your lifespan?

Cidp: Cidp by itself does not reduce life span. Cidp affects primarily peripheral nervous system . Prognosis varies if cidp is associated with other medical illnesses, involvement of phrenic nerve, complications of treatments, inter current infections etc.

See comments: Cidp is an autoimmune disorder predominantly affecting the myelin coverings of the peripheral nerves, and can readily be controlled in over 80% of people by monthly ivig (intravenous immune globulin) infusions. Life span would not be shortened if the disorder is appropriately managed.
