CIDP and Insurance Companies

Posted By Reginald Young on June 24, 1998 at 21:05:50:







It was recently determined that I have CIDP and IVIG is the treatment
being recommended by my doctor.  Here is the problem, my health care
provider has told me this is not a standard treatment.  One key point,
I am diabetic and my doctor explained why he does not think
steriod treatment is the best tretment for me.  While my health care
provider refuses treatment my condition is worsening.  This past
weekend I stumbled and injured my shoulder, its becoming
increasingly more difficult for me drive as well as walk.
What information can you provide that will help me with my
health care provider?  I would like any information, success stories
technical papers that will help me obtain the IVIG treatment.

Thanks,
Reggie
