Description:Edited by Lauro S. Halstead, M.D., Managing Post-Polio provides a comprehensive overview on dealing with the medical, psychological, vocational, and many other challenges of living with post-polio syndrome. Written by authorities in their fields, the majority of whom are polio survivors themselves, Managing Post-Polio distills and summarizes the wealth of information presented at conferences and published in the medical literature over the past 15 years. This information is supplemented with personal stories of seven individuals who provide eloquent testimony to the many ways people have prevailed in the face of ongoing disability. Managing Post-Polio was written by healthcare professionals who work with and counsel patients with post-polio syndrome and who need an up-to-date and quick reference, as well as a guide to living well for persons who have had polio, their families, friends, and loved ones. As Dr. Halstead, a polio survivor himself, observes in the introduction, "this book was written and edited partly to help me deal better with my own unique disability and to help the many thousands of other polio survivors in this country and around the world deal more effectively with their unique version of polio disability."Contents:* Acute Polio and Post-Polio Syndrome / by Lauro S.
