So Monday morning came around and although still shaken up
by the weekend’s events, I went back to Robin Lane where I was seen in the
emergency care walk in clinic (a brilliant idea) by Dr. S. DeMowbrary. Regaling
her with the story of what happened on the weekend she showed obvious signs of
concern and asked what I wanted to do. I said ideally (and from what I’ve read)
an MRI would certainly rule out any disk herniations, or more specifically
spinal lesions associated with MS. Seeing that I was still unstable on my feet
and finding it difficult to stand on my tip toes, jump or jog, she requested an
urgent MRI to try and advance my situation.
About me section
Hi, my name is Paul, I’m 26 and I have CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demylinating Polyneuropathy). This blog will try to document my symptoms, progression and treatment from start to finish, along with my frequent encounters with the NHS in both West Yorkshire and south Wales. This blog is an attempt to keep you and more importantly me entertained on this ongoing, ruddy bumpy, uncomfortable and often frustrating journey.
This is me. Mid way through the Yorkshire 3 peaks in July 2012. 13 miles down, 13 more to go! (Not at all demoralised)
I can honestly say, my feet have never ached so much in my entire life! But from this I hope you can tell I was just like everyone else; reasonably fit, happy, quite outdoorsy and a keen angler (A link to my other blog Paul on Coarse Fishing can be found here). Now, I’m considerably less fit, still happy (with a few moody bouts), generally house bound (unless I break the Zimmer out) and it’s been well over a year since I’ve wet a line. If you’ve read this far you’re probably either aware of what CIDP is or are thinking “what on earth is this guy on about?” If either of those are the case, you’re committed, and I’m about to begin the story from the beginning...

Wales v England
The symptoms in my hands and legs
continued steadily until an unfortunate peak on the 16th of March.
This date is remembered for a number of reasons, firstly - Wales defeating
England in the 6 Nations Rugby tournament to seal the championship – WIN; secondly
- because after walking 250 meters after watching the match I collapsed – FAIL.
