Question: Dear dr. XXXXXXX

I think you remember me, so far you answered my question two times. I asked about problem resulting most likely from hitting my head, and I stopped that practice, I would even say that for some time I am getting better.

I think I mentioned also I have CIDP, for one year now. I had good recovery, I got it last summer in heat, and this summer it got worse in heat. So, I learned heat is something I should avoid.

Now, due to CIDP I was not very active, I think for some time I have pain in shoulder, only when I raise my hand. I supposed it is due to poor physical activity. So I decided to do some exercises. I did very little, 5 min in the evening and so much in morning. It was just light exercise.

But next day I noticed weakness appearing in my body, back, arms, hips.... This kind of weakness I had when my illness started, over time it was gone. My strength became not so good, but good enough. Only few times ever since I had soe weakness lasting just an hour or so.

Now, I feel mentally much better, but have this kind of weakens. Now, after 2 days, it is better, but is still here, and annoying.

My question is if so little exercise could aggravate CIDP, causing relapse. Or it just did some action in my body so I can hope this weakness should go away (big part is gone but not all).

So far, sometimes longer walk caused pain in feet, and after rest it would be gone.

Generally, my question am I facing relapse, could such exercise do it, or in best case I should except resolution of problem soon.

And hoe exactly looks relapse, does it looks same as when it started or .... Over time, I had fluctuation of symptoms, from being symptom free to some pain... but I wouldn't call this pain as relapse.

Regarding treatment, I no case I can get here IVIg, if I need it, because of the high cost. I am relaying on some other approaches, vitamins, homeopathy etc.

I will try to attach you my last emng from july this year. Maybe you can just give me a hint how bad/good is test results. I say this because one doctor said I have significant axon loss in poroneal nerve, but my doctor says it is not so bad (I am not sure if she says this just to keep me more optimistic.)
