Had my appointment with Dr. Kline at UNC-Chapel Hill today. Dr. Kline is the area CIDP expert. Testing was extensive. Dr. Kline disagrees with Dr. Schecter on the timing issues of the IVIG treatment and the fact that I’m still on steroids.
The good new is:
a) I have more of my reflexes back, four out of six places showed up and with marked improvement.
b) The chances of my having another relapse are slim. As long as I continue treatments.
c) I don’t’ need follow-up appointments with Dr. Kline unless things get worse, or I choose to switch doctors.
The bad new is:
a) I have memory loss issues, which is part of the disease.
b) I sometimes have leg pains at night, which is part of the disease.
