Another Day, Another Diagnosis

Yesterday I had yet another appointment — this, with the new neurologist, following up on the results of the spinal tap I endured last week.
I could ramble on about all the details of the day, about just exactly how much fun it is just to get ready to go out of the house, about the conversations at the doc’s office, but no.
Short version: a new contender for the “What Vexes Russ” title has popped up on the radar: Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy.
CIDP is an auto-immune disease, so it suddenly becomes possible that I’ve been doing this to myself all along. It is, however, treatable.
This isn’t a sure thing at all, just a possibility.
Next week: Duke Med.
