Recently Diagnosed with CIDP


CONFUSED? SCARED? CONCERNED?

Unfortunately, you are one in approximately 500,000 people who will contract CIDP this year. If you have been recently diagnosed with CIDP you probably have a lot of questions.

We’re Here. And we’ve Been Where You Are.

The majority of the Foundation’s volunteers are intimate with the range of emotions that come with a recent diagnosis of CIDP – a nerve disorder so rare that you probably have never heard of it.

Fortunately, There Is Help And There Is Hope.

While the “c” does stand for “chronic,” there are treatments today that can limit and better control the disorder. If caught early and treated appropriately, CIDP can be managed.

Within our community of CIDP survivors support is readily available for you. The kind of support that comes from experience.

You do not have to go through this alone. We’re here.
