I got a google Alert for "chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids" that reported only 20 people with the CLIPPERS diagnosis in the US. This seems low to me. I have thought there was maybe 50. Still so small. I'm still tapering (30 mg/day) and boy is it tough. Sore and tired, still hard to talk and sleep even with sleeping aids.
