A National Support Group for Adults with Post Polio Syndrome. Hence the name National Adult Post Polio Support Organization. The primary purpose of this group is to provide assistance, comfort and understanding, information, and direction to those suffering with the many ailments associated with Post Polio Syndrome.
P.P.S. is a disease which attacks Polio Survivors everywhere. The effects are most often misdiagnosed by most of the Medical Profession. The victims are often left thinking they are out of their minds or just have very vivid imaginations. They need a place to go where people will listen and understand what they are dealing/suffering with. People who can suggest Doctors and Clinics where they can go for the proper care and assistance they need and deserve.
This will be a STRESS FREE place where EVERYONE can get this type of support but, also have someone to whom they can vent their frustrations without fear of repercussions. The people they will be talking to will understand fully because they too, having P.P.S. themselves,have already been through what these people are going through. They will know how many of them have dealt with simular situations.
The entire body of members will be made up of individuals who have P.P.S. and are wanting to share with each other their problems as well as their solutions; discovered throught their own experiences and Doctors;to such a large variety of ailments.
The subjects which are not allowed to be discussed,on the Bulletin Board or in the Chat Room, will be Politics,and Devotees. We feel everyone is entitled to have their Own Beliefs on these subjects but, these WILL NOT be subjects for discussion on an open forum such as this.
All membership applications will be Monitored and all Message Posting will be Moderated. The Chat Room will always have a Moderator or Chat Host there when open, to be sure that all Rules and Regulations are adhered to. All persons with P.P.S. are Invited to JOIN NAPPSO!
