Suggest Treatment For Post Polio Syndrome
My mother was a polio survivor at age ten. My siblings, children, grandchildre and I have experienced what I ve heard referred to Post-Polio Syndrome. The main symptoms being extreme fatigue and joint/muscle pain. Could this have been passed on from my mother and down to even my grandchildren?
