Post polio syndrome…

Actually, Dr. Parry talks about this “post-polio type syndrome”in his latest book on GBS & CIDP. Even in those individuals who appear to make a complete recovery from GBS, the nerves that remyelinate to heal those that were damaged are never as strong as the nerves we are born with. So, many years down the road, these nerves can weaken & this is what causes one to have residuals later on in life. Just like something that has been glued or taped; never quite as strong as the original, even though it may appear to be for a certain length of time. Makes sense to me…
