I am a polio survivor (Got polio in 1957) and I am now dealing with Post Polio Syndrome. My webpage has some information about PPS and more will follow as I have time and depending upon responses and needs that are shared. I have no intention of letting this blog turn into a self-pity, look at me place where I dump on all who are dumb enough to stop and read. However, with a million polio survivors in the US and perhaps, one half of those dealing with PPS, there is a need for sharing stories, encouraging one another and learning from one another.

Do you have a challenge with which you are coping at present?

Currently I have two main challenges related to my post polio syndrome:

1. I often get frustrated when I realize I cannot do something I could just a few months previously.
2. I really have a hard time making myself take regular rest breaks. The thought of lying down every afternoon makes me feel like I'm wasting time.
