-=> Quoting LD WALKER to JAMES HARDING <=-
 LW> Hi James! Glad you found the echo, I have been here on and off for
 LW> about six months I think (never could remember dates).  Although I am
 LW> one of the very fortunate Polio survivors, in the last few years I was
 LW> having an extreme problem with fatigue.  I'm 55 now and had the polio
 LW> at age 13.
Howdy LD, nice meeting you!
      I have the fatique thing a lot lately.
Also trying to quit smoking! Groan...:(
 LW> Information posted in this echo enabled me to learn a great deal about
 LW> the fatigue problem and I have had very good results with managing the
 LW> fatigue since.  Taking the advice of several people here, I learned to
 LW> rest more frequently and avoid the very heavy physical activity I
 LW> sometimes exposed myself to.  This has resulted in my actually having
 LW> much more time that I can actually use to good advantage.
Hope I someday can do as well.....
 LW> Previously I had been in a vicious circle of work, play and fatigue to
 LW> the point of collapse.  After modifying my lifestyle considerably as
 LW> described above, I feel almost normal most of the time.
 LW> I, unlike many, don't seem to have lost much strength at this point,
 LW> but definitely have lost endurance, so plan my activities accordingly.
 That's something I have to start doing .. .. I'm 53 now, and it's
 showing.
 LW> I was diagnosed as having PPS at the Dallas Rehab Clinic in Dallas,
 LW> Texas a couple of uears ago.  I still exercise MODERATELY and feel
 LW> better than with no exercise at all, but this apparently must be
 LW> determined on an individual basis considering each patient's
 LW> condition. 
 I am gonna have to see a Dr. to see how my condition is and what my
 limits are. All this has just become a problem with me in the last
 couple of yrs.
 LW> Keep posting, the Moderator Tom McKeever recently posted a message in
 LW> the Cardiac echo which he also moderates noting that distribution of
 LW> the echo could be lost if activity is too low.  I was not previously
 LW> aware of that, and many others like myself, who lurk a lot and post a
 LW> little probably are not aware either.
 I wasn't aware either. I lurk a lot too.... will try and speak up when
 I can, and help things a bit.
 LW> Good luck with finding information that can help you.
 LW> LD Walker
 Thanks LD,
   You take Care ......... CUL ........... James
