CIDP more crossovers, what is going on!!!!!
The symptoms of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
include numbness, tingling, burning and weakness, generally occurring
in the feet first and they gradually ascend to involve other parts of
the body. One of the first signs that could develop is a foot drop,
where patients develope weakness in their ankles and as a result tend to
trip over their feet, or they could develop numbness and tingling in
the feet and toes which gradually spreads to to the other parts of the
body. Other organs could also become involved including inability to
adequately empty the bladder, nausea, vomiting, abdominal fullness or
bloating, diarrhea, or constipation, low blood with dizziness, or
trouble maintaining an erection. The severity and the combination of
symptoms vary. Some could have only numbness and tingling only, others
could have weakness only. Some patients are severely affected and they
could become completely paralyzed and have severe numbness and
tingling. Others have a very slow progression with mild disease. These
patients often complain of difficulty with walking. They develop poor
balance and cannot walk for long periods of time.
