Polio Survivors Network<\/strong> provides an information service including regular newsletters for polio survivors, their families, friends and health professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polio survivors are those who, after years of stable functioning following recovery from polio (poliomyelitis, infantile paralysis), are experiencing new deterioration. In most cases these problems have been gradual and, whilst medically noted, most often are not diagnosed correctly over many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polio Survivors Network collects, collates and provides polio and post-polio related material from all over the world. This includes, but is not limited to, infantile paralysis, polio, poliomyelitis, post-polio sequelae, post-polio syndrome, post-poliomyelitis syndrome and the late effects of polio. The most common term is post-polio syndrome (PPS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polio Survivor<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The journey of a polio survivor takes unexpected turns, revealing a lesser-known phase beyond initial recovery \u2013 a revelation that may evoke both surprise and relief. This was the case for one survivor who, after years of stable health, discovered the existence of a subsequent stage characterised by unexplained symptoms: fresh weaknesses, heightened fatigue and functional regressions previously unaccounted for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
