Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder -- a condition that targets your bodys nerves.
Symptoms arent the same for everyone, but you may be tired and have areas of numbness and pain. It can slow your reflexes and make your arms and legs feel weak. You have to have symptoms for at least 8 weeks for CIDP to be considered the cause.
Most people need treatment. And the sooner you begin it, the better the chance of a complete recovery. Sometimes symptoms go away for a long time but come back later.
Anyone can get CIDP, but its most common in older adults, and more in men than women. As many as 40,000 people in the U.S. may have the condition, but its hard to know how many people have it. CIDP isnt easy to diagnose.
Experts arent sure why people get the disorder. What they do know is that its caused by inflammation of nerves and nerve roots. The swelling can destroy the protective covering around nerves, known as myelin. That can hurt nerve fibers and slow the nerves ability to send signals. This is what causes the weakness, pain, fatigue, and numbness.
Theres no test to diagnosis CIDP. Instead, your doctor will ask you questions about your symptoms, such as when they started and how they feel. Hell do a thorough physical examination and may also recommend tests to get a better idea of whats going on with your nerves, and to rule out other possible causes.
In some cases, doctors cant be completely sure its CIDP, but they may go ahead and start treatment. If the symptoms improve, thats strong evidence its CIDP.
