Dr. Speed likes to say, "I'm not sure what good I am to you at this point in your recovery." Then, I come back and our appointment turns out to be the most valuable 30 minutes we have spent together as we explored how my CIDP has possibly manifest during the past 40 years. The time I spent with Dr. Speed was excellent preparation for my appointment with my neurologist next week.
