You've Got To Laugh Haven't You?
News2 mins ago
Thank you both for your replies, I have tried going down the GP/Consultant procedure. GP denies that Post Polio exists, tries to fob me off by saying it's ME.
In the last 5yrs I have had 3 Consultants, in the forlno joy that way!
I posted on here in the hope that I might get a reply from someone on here might also have the same problem

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.hi frank. Your GP could be right as with most syndromes, there is no specific diagnostic test - more a collection of symptoms. It probably (?) makes not one jot of difference if you have PPS or ME - they are very similar symptoms-wise, and neither have a cure nor specific treatment per se. i get i am looking from the outside though, not experiencing it like you are
in fact there may be an advantage to 'labeling' it as ME - there's a bigger community to post your question towards, and you may get more answers?
Good conclusion
I think post polio syndrome exists
https:/
Sort of slowly appeared in the sixties and seventies ( can these people be chronically infected?)
What the GP may be saying is that he is sure that what you have got - - is nt post polio
see the article about half way down " it is impt to get the diagnosis right"
and yes I agree with bednobs, ME path or post polio path - choose the ME path
I have been thro three posts on basically the same thing. There is something called secondary arthritis - where a condition causes excessive wear of a joint.
I think your doctors are saying the hip issue is not caused by PPS
(when I hadmy hip replaced, the surgeon said " you have had radiotherapy but this has not caused the arthritis". And I said "you can tell?" he said yup ( they look different = radionecrosis is special)
