CIDP Ivig Double Vision​
​
One of our members with CIDP has been struggling with double vision for the last few days following his latest treatment of IvIg. He has been referred by his optician to an ophthalmologist, but unfortunately, has to wait two weeks before he can be seen. He has been receiving IvIg for two years, and this is the first time the problem has occurred. He has emailed his neurologist but hasn’t had a response yet, and in the meantime was wondering if it was something we were familiar with, as he is quite concerned.
​
Is double vision a recognised symptom of CIDP / treatment with IvIg, and if so, is it likely to be long term or something that should pass relatively quickly? Is it something that spectacles could help correct or is he stuck with it for as long as it lasts?
​
Answer:
He does need to be seen. It could be a viscosity problem with the ivig. It may well settle. Sometimes prism glasses help but a diagnosis is needed.
Diagnosis CIDP & AIDP ​
​
We have come across two people this week who have been diagnosed with CIDP and AIDP concurrently. Is this something you’ve encountered?
​
Answer:
A few patients get recurrent attacks of GBS with recovery in between. I suspect this is all one disease not two but It is what you call it is tricky.
