Our daughter was diagnosed in 1990 with CIDP. She was 16. She had IVIG treatments that were eventually able to be spaced further apart until she was 25, at which time she was back to normal! Thank God for IVIG! She’s 50 now with no lingering effects! Another success story!

thank you so much for all that information. My husband was diagnosed here in Brazil and this video was really helpful!

Thank you for the great information. I'm from the Philippines. I've been diagnosed with MMN since 2019; until now, both my hands and legs have had the same weakness. My doctor told us that for my condition, it was a long process to cure my MMN, but now I've been treated twice with IVIG, and I feel good, but not totally good.
