PPS and Bipolar
Hi yes I am diagnosed as PPS and BPII. I do have to say the bipolar syndrome is prevalent among other siblings to different degrees. I take medication and usually my BP is well controlled. I have some bouts of hypomania and some depressive symptoms at other times. I would be haappy to answer any questions I couldon either subject as I have seen BP at both extremes in my family and have made it a point to educate myself quite extensively on it.

I am fortunate, in that I was diagnosed with the post polio at Spaulding Rehabilatation Center in Framingham by Dr. Julie Silver, who was very influential in getting the Syndrome addressed and researched.
