Hello. I am the wife of 55 years to a man who had polio in the 40's He and his brother both had it . At the time they lived in WY. My husband was about 7-8 at the time. He is 76 years old now. He worked hard all his life as a automotive parts person, farmed, and we raised 3 children. Over the last few years he has been treated for possible kidney failure , and has a fistula , not used as yet, diabetes , heart problems, including one stint. He has lots of pain and has fallen several times. Now on Doctor is telling him maybe his lungs are being compensated because of the polio. No pain medications seem to work for him. Some of the medicines he has taken have caused him to be alergy to those and now he has skin breakouts often,even if he dose not take medicine. ,, I would sure love to find a Doctor that can help him. Maybe there is one out there. Thank You. Ruth Walker
