Had CIDP For Many Years, Taking Morphine, Pain Not Reduced. Can Walk, I Fall Frequently, Sleep Problems
I am 76 years old and have had CIDP FOR 11 years, can I expect my condition to get worse as time goes by. I am
in constant pain and am on morphine-60 mg 3 times a day. This does not eliminate the pain just sort of masks it.I am able to walk, however, I fall frequently and it also causes sleepn problems.

Dear Sir, Hi! I am afraid CIDP is a progressive disease. now speed of progression for you must already be known to you as you have it for 11 years. Besides morphine steroids can help you. specially methyl prednisolone. Regards!
