Community Connections: GBS/CIDP Walk and Roll 2014




Back2Us Radio  show

Summary: When I was diagnoised with CIDP in 2010, my neurologist had never treated a patient with my illness.  CIDP is Chronic Inflammatory Demylinating Polyneuropathy; and, the more I researched about this illness, the more I realized that I couldn't simply be a patient being treated by my doctor I had to become my own advocate and my doctor's educator.  By chance last year, my neighbor told me about a young woman who was so intrigued by GBS/CIDP that she was organzing a walk and roll to raise money for research.  I simply had to learn more about her and why GBS/CIDP research was so dear to her heart.  Music by: Smiling Knife "Traveling Through Time" To support GBS/CIDP Research: http://www.gbs-cidp.org/walk-and-roll/ To volunteer: tammy11704@gmail.com
