3. Double Vision
Double vision is no joke. The perception of two people, items, or places, when in reality there is just one, can be upsetting and nauseating at the same time for the sufferer. The implications of this symptom are wide-reaching, as any impact on our sight seems to permeate into every aspect of our lives. Moving from room to room in the house becomes challenging, let alone doing things such as driving a car or chores around the house.
As with many symptoms of CIDP, treatment and careful management can bring about temporary improvements with symptoms like double vision, but once a person becomes affected by this problem, it usually returns, and sometimes with a vengeance. Trying to focus on one thing at a time can help, rather than making a huge effort to restore full peripheral vision in one fell swoop. The approach needs to be similar to the approach toward the whole illness, little by little and step by step.
