I have an Uncle who walks with a cane to this day because of polio.
We seldom hear about this problem. About 15 years ago, I worked with a woman who had survived polio. She also had significant and progressive muscle weakness which appeared years after her bout with polio. She especially had trouble walking.
Is there a "House, MD" equivalent for real-life ailments that continue undiagnosed and untreatable even by specialists? Where do you go when the doctors don't know what to do with you?
