About this audiobook

CIDP: Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy — A Complete Guide by Daniel Schwartz is a comprehensive, accessible 2026 guide to one of the most underdiagnosed autoimmune nerve diseases. CIDP occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath surrounding peripheral nerves, causing progressive weakness, numbness, pain, and loss of balance that unfolds over months to years — distinguishing it from the acute, self-limited Guillain-Barré Syndrome it closely resembles. Schwartz walks readers through the full arc of the disease. Written for patients, families, nursing and medical students, and curious non-specialists alike, the book pairs clear plain-language explanations with comparison tables, a full glossary, and practical appendices — symptom diaries, medication logs, and a guide to reading nerve conduction reports — empowering readers to understand their diagnosis and participate meaningfully in their own care.
