The Polio Paradox: Understanding and Treating "Post-Polio Syndrome" and Chronic Fatigue

The Polio Paradox: Understanding and Treating "Post-Polio Syndrome" and Chronic Fatigue Review

I am writing this on behalf of my husband who had Polio at the age of 7. His was non-crippling at the time and he came out of it with just a slight limp in one leg. In his early 40's he began to have unexplained symptoms, pain, muscle spasms, drawing in his legs, etc. As his ability to walk worsened, we sought help from several Neurologists as well as a Orthopedic specialist with no results~~~just tons of medicine. We told each specialist about his polio and could he possibly have Post Polio Syndrome~~~we were told there was no such thing.
While searching the internet for help, I came across Dr. Bruno's book and immediately went to Amazon to purchase it. We have since been directed to a specialist in our area for Post Polio Syndrome and feel, at last, he is going to get help. We realize there is no cure, but it is such a relief to finally be told there is such a thing as PPS and everything that can be done to make his life easier, will be done.
We highly recommend this book to anyone who may be a Polio survivor and beginning to experience symptoms. Don't wait as long as we did to find help~~~it is definitely out there!!

Polio is a disease of paradoxes, the major one being that although the threat of the 'dreaded disease' ended with the Salk vaccine in 1954, many polio survivors are now experiencing the onset of 'Post-Polio Syndrome' (PPS), new but related symptoms which may include chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, intolerance to cold, and more. In his groundbreaking book, Dr. Bruno has sounded an alarming wake-up call for both doctors and PPS sufferers, including a large number who were originally misdiagnosed with something other than polio and can now pursue the medical help they need. By revealing how the treatment of polio in the past has exacerbated what we now call PPS today, THEPOLIO PARADOX provides hope and new treatment information for an entire generation.

The Polio Paradox - bromare - NH
This book is extremely helpful in understanding Post-Polio Syndrome. Most Drs. today are just not aware of how to deal with and treat Post-Polio Syndrome. My husband had polio as a young child. He is having a lot of difficulty now with his knee and foot. This book was able to answer his many questions. Very informative and well-written book.

Great book! Full of insightful and helpful information about the affects on polio victims about 60 years after having had polio. It helps you to understand the post polio syndrome and the symptoms that you are experiencing.
