Also; I again want to say, this thread is not for a purpose of yelling fire in a theatre,
I am very curious IF the polio vaccine is causing more serious senior issues. Syncopy and balance issues are often related to aging. More serious issues that are worse than simple episodes of 'passing' out while eating;
Post Polio Sydrome is more advance when it is in the Central AND the Autonomic Nervous system. All symptoms and a very concise complete list...can't find just one!
More Common Signs: From Mayo Clinic.
Climate Intolearnce (frequent red to bluish hands (look like Carbon monoxide poisoning) and feet; more often feet than hands)
Joint Pain
Nausea/vomiting
Fainting
Multi-system failure that is intermittent
Cognitive Issues (Cog Fog)
Issues with equilibirium
There Isn't one list or source I could find ALL the symptoms; so far, the above is a list I've compiled from searching articles, research and medical sites dealing with PPS, I could find. Not to mention the individual I am observing has extremely advanced symptoms, at the age of 60, which have been problematic for a decade.
Current treatment lies here:
The fact that this disease is mis-diagnosed and not very many new docs go into this field; as it was thought they eradicated Polio, it would be a field of docs without patients.
Perhaps this disease will die-off with our generation?

PainProgressive muscle and joint weakness and pain
General fatigue and exhaustion with minimal activity
Muscle atrophy
Breathing or swallowing problems
Sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea
Decreased tolerance of cold temperatures
In most people, post-polio syndrome tends to progress slowly, with new signs and symptoms followed by periods of stability.

Current treatment lies here:
Medications. Pain relievers, such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), may ease muscle and joint pain. Numerous drugs — including pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), amantadine, modafinil (Provigil), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and alpha-2 recombinant interferon — have been studied as treatments for post-polio syndrome, but no clear benefit has been found for any of them.
