I have CIDP and the weakness in my right leg and right arm and hand has got worse this past month. I have severe pain in my lower back and right leg when I am not laying down or setting. My dr. has me taking infusions each but I see no difference. Since I am getting worse, I was wondering about the life expectancy of someone with CIDP.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. CDP is neurological disorder and progressive weakness is seen.2. Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and prednisone is known to be helpful3. Life expectancy is variable. Spontaneous remission or relapses with remission can be seen. Response to treatment and severity is important for further prognosis. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
