Hello everyone! I'm 64 and have had polio in 1956. A very bad form. Only my head was ok. In time I recovered pretty well. In my late ten years I started to degenerate, feeling more and more weak and many other symthoms and recently I was told I have PPS. I want to know as much possible about.. If anybody reading my post has more details I'll appreciate.?
