Spotlight on: Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy or CIDP
It’s a little late, but I am making the demyelinating disease up for discussion this month CIDP. I just felt that with the new blog schedule I posted yesterday it would be appropriate to name a demyelinating disease to be focused on for this month. Given that there are only a few weeks left in December, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy was the natural choice. A lot about it has already been discussed on this blog and will be discussed in the future when I share my experiences so only having a few weeks won’t be an issue.
A little bit about CIDP, it’s symptoms, treatment, and other information can be found here .
The charity in the spotlight this month is the GBS-CIDP Foundation International. Information on it can be found here .
With those two topics already covered, that means this post is going to be dedicated to a Blog Review!
The blog being reviewed is: CIDP And Me
What is the blog about?
CIDP And Me provides a snapshot of one woman’s life experiences and how CIDP affects them. She chronicles the various highs and lows of her life with humor and hope, creating an engaging read that everyone can relate to, regardless of whether or not they are living with a demyelinating disease.
How often is it updated?
A few times every month, making it perfect for those who may not have a lot of time to devote to daily blog reading.
Can I subscribe to it?
Yup! There’s a link to subscribe to an e-mail newsletter of the blog posts on the blog. I can’t find a link to subscribe to it via an RSS Reader but I’m pretty sure those a little more blog savvy than me will be able to set it up as some sort of RSS feed.
Overall
Kristen, the blogger behind CIDP And Me, is a wonderfully sweet woman and a talented writer. Normally upbeat and positive, CIDP And Me is a great blog to read for hope and inspiration. Since CIDP progresses differently in everyone, it’s important to read as many personal experiences as possible in order to get some sort of idea of what to expect when living with such a disease. CIDP And Me is definitely a blog everyone should check out!
