Hi firstly my heart goes out to everyone dealing with CIDP. I was diagnosed in March and have since been having IVMP once a month. I was lucky enough to be referred to uclh and they are amazin.

My symptoms started after I had covid . 6 weeks after covid I had double pneumonia and a clot in my lung. Then 2 months after the cidp started.

Anyone else had similar?

    Hi mariel59,

    I’ve also been diagnosed with CIDP, however I have had different symptoms. I’m currently receiving IVMP and wanted to ask if you had any side affects and whether this treatment has helped you at all. If so, how long did you have to wait for any improvement?


    I’ve been on it since July this year and haven’t noticed any improvement, I actually got worse.
