CIDP vs MS (Multiple sclerosis)
While CIDP shares some symptoms with MS, certain symptoms such as problems with concentration, vision, speech, and the bladder are seen only with MS.4
CIDP vs ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
Although some CIDP symptoms may appear similar to those of ALS, ALS does not cause numbness, tingling, or uncomfortable sensations. Also, ALS commonly causes symptoms such as muscle twitching, weight loss, and muscle wasting as well as problems speaking, breathing, and swallowing.5
CIDP vs GBS (Guillain-Barré syndrome)
GBS symptoms quickly develop over days to weeks, and then slowly get better again. CIDP symptoms progress gradually over 2 to 6 months or more.2
