I'm starting to get VERY frustrated here. Illegal CANNABIS truly helps for this condition, which is either ignored because it's against the law, or it's "made-down" by the medical fraternity because the treatment is free. You can simply ingest cannabis which will guarantee restfulness. Most of the symptoms of the late effects of polio ans Post Polio syndrome is addressed with the simple ingestion of illegal cannabis.
