Had polio at age 2 in 1946. Never took the vacine or sugar cubes in the '50's. Doctor didn't think it was safe for me. Having all the problems everyone has mentioned. Was paralized from the waist down for 4 years. Started walking again at age 6. Was a real bummer when PPS started when I was in my mid 40's. Must use a cane and can't walk more than 20'. You guys know the story. Medical doctors are not...and will not help. Have been using deep muscle massages, swimming in warm water, chiropractors help and vitamins. I get the following at a good health food store: Ribose-750mg (3 per day), Melatonin 3 mg (2 before bed) and just found out about L-Carnitine 3 to 4,000 mg per day. I'll start taking that, too. I'll never be able to do what I used to....but at least I'm still on my feet. Need to rest and pace yourself. I fell 2 years ago and broke my knee cap, it really put me back, so be careful. Anyone out there going alternative, too?
