Hi Adrienne,

Seems unusual to get a real msg on this group as
opposed to the spam. I got polio at 6-months, I'm
currently 42. I was fist diagnosed with PPS when I
was 29. Minor symptoms, such as weakness in my thumbs
and shoulder problems. I got a powerchair when I was
34 but 2 years ago, I flipped it backwards and tore up
my rotator cuff. I ended up having surgery and my
shoulder problems are gone, so I'm back to my manual
chair. I don't have the typical symptoms of PPS and
feel that I might have been diagnosed prematurely,
except for my thumbs. I'm not too far away from you
in East TN, Tri Cities area.

Nice to hear from a non-spammer.
