Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read facts of your query and reviewed it in context to your health issues submitted.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.
Your father in law- needs to be verified for other causes of CIDP- as those with
diabetes / or with IBD/ or could be with accompanied chronic /
acute hepatitis.
Review of the other causes is needed for proper treatment in your father's case.
Remedy-
IN the given scenario, I would suggest you to review your father's CIDP-from other causes.
Second opinion from other physician/or
neurologist would be needed.
And according to cause the treatment could be planned with Tnf -alpha antabonist -like
infliximab / or treatment of hepatitis C/or B would result in remissions of CIDP of your father.
Get Second opinion with Physician and Neurologist- to rule out other causes as discussed above.
Just don't worry and be patient and co-operate with your doctors,till you verify with your attending doctors.
Hope this would help you to treat your health issues in the best way possible.
