6.2 this morning following another bout of daytime lows.
I received my official diagnosis for Post Polio Syndrome yesterday.
No worries, I have been chasing this dragon for 20 years. Back at the start, the NHS refused to discuss it and I sat on my hands and waited. Five years back they looked at it and said: "you may have but it hasn't progressed to where it is a problem".
Last two years I've had swallowing issues, blackouts, sleep apnea, muscle issues, fatigue, and, it seems, T2. Hospital had looked at each separately and refused to link them until recently, and now they have conceded.
Like my Asperger's diagnosis, I am quite happy to finally get my PPS recognised, not happy that I have it mind.
Now that it is official they also let me know that there are around 120,000 polio survivors left over from the 50s in the UK and there's a high chance they could develop PPS. Nice to know.
The reason for the final diagnosis is that my symptoms are progressively worsening and there is no known cure for it.
Anyways, final days are still a way off and I'll probably choose euthanasia as my option. Not a religious man so tots and pears aren't necessary, but I thought I'd share it as it will be a factor in my ongoing T2 and may have been the underlying cause.
Enjoy the day
