PPS Clinic
If
you are experiencing any post-polio symptoms such as unaccustomed
fatigue - either rapid muscle tiring or a feeling of total body
exhaustion; new weakness in muscles, both those originally affected
and those seemingly unaffected; pain in muscles and/or joints;
sleep problems; breathing or swallowing problems or decreased
ability to tolerate cold temperatures and your primary care physician
cannot find any other cause, you may want to be evaluated by
a Post-Polio Specialist. We, in central Virginia, are fortunate
to have a Post-Polio Clinic at Sheltering Arms Hospital, 2805
West Broad St., Richmond. The Director of the PPS Clinic is Dr.
Albert Jones. Information can be given by calling: 804-764-1001.
