PPS Fatigue
Original Post: Somedays I overdo it and have no pain, other days I take it easy and suffer the next day. What’s up?
Dr. Bruno’s Response: Remember “The 48 HOUR RULE:”
Polio survivors can often beat themselves up on a Saturday, feel fine on Sunday and crash on Monday.
The best way to avoid pain and fatigue? Don’t do things that cause them.
"Conserve to Preserve" remaining, poliovirus-damaged neurons is the best treatment for PPS.
You can find the “cause” of pain and fatigue by monitoring your activities with the Post-Polio Fatigue Log. It’s easily available for download.
Look in the Index of the Encyclopedia of Polio and PPS under the topic: “Fatigue” and “Fatigue Log” for more information.
