re post polio syndrome information needed please reply to keith actrix gen nz keith stewart my wife has become interested through an acquaintance in post polio syndrome this apparently is not recognised in new zealand and different symptons eg chest complaints are treated separately does anone have any information on it it would help if you and anyone else asking for medical information on some subject could ask specific questions as no one is likely to type in a textbook chapter covering all aspects of the subject if you are looking for a comprehensive review ask your local hospital librarian most are happy to help with a request of this sort briefly this is a condition in which patients who have significant residual weakness from childhood polio notice progression of the weakness as they get older one theory is that the remaining motor neurons have to work harder and so die sooner david nye nyeda cnsvax uwec edu midelfort clinic eau claire wi this is patently absurd but whoever wishes to become a philosopher must learn not to be frightened by absurdities bertrand russell
