The Power of Goals | CIDP Patient Challenges Half Dome

I've been a CIDP patient for 4 years. I was originally diagnosed with GBS, but was subsequently rediagnosed with CIDP after a bad relapse and nerve study. In this video I talk about the power of goals. I recently challenged my fear of heights and hiked half dome, even though I have permanent nerve damage in both legs. With a good treatment plan, exercise, and rest, CIDP is not unsurmountable.

Thanks so much Keith. I hope your recovery is still going well. Doing Grand Canyon Rim2Rim in a month !! That will be epic. January.. i'll be trying to get off IVIG again. Hopefully.. this time i'm done with it !!

I was just recently diagnosed myself and will start my IViG treatments after Thanksgiving. I have tried grounding and that has actually worked to make me feel better and be able to walk better. Have you ever tried grounding? I bought one of those grounding maps now that it's cold and I sleep on it at night.

I have never heard of grounding. Sounds a bit gimmicky.. but who knows. My IVIG therapy was delayed a week.. and already feeling it. Sucks.. Good luck in your recovery !! The IVIG can have some amazing results. Stick with it.. try and stay positive. One day at a time.
