Cranial nerves and CIDP

by eshenry, May 01, 2007 12:00AM
I have been diagnosed with CIPD. It began in my cranial nerves, the first attack being last year (January). I had profound  right facial paralysis, facial numbness, dysphagia, vertigo, heart rate and B/p fluctuations. I regained most function with some weakness, vertigo and trigeminal neuralgia, and hearing distortion. It returned and was treated earlier but I have now weakness in my right arm.
I know you don't have the ability to see the future. I would like to know if CIDP presenting in the cranial nerves first indicates a remitting and relapsing course or the progressive course. Can you give me some "what to expect" and what to watch for. I learned my onset symptoms quickly.
