Hi Roger,

I am 58 years old. I had bulbar polio from ages 4-7. Over the last 10
years, I had severe pain in my neck, shoulders, knees and the lower back.
Even my "good" limbs have become very week and painful. I cope with it 1 day
at a time hoping that someday the medical profession will be able to help
without the use of painkillers.

John
