Drop me a line if your wife's not responding as well as expected/hoped. I''ve read up on some of the current medical literature and recent trial publications for CIDP since hearing your news. I would be happy to send a few CIDP treatment articles your way to discuss with your doc.
Treatments seem to parallel those for many immune-mediated complications after BMT, so I've used many of the newer treatment modalities myself.
Rockys is correct - gabapentin is supportive care, not treatment.
