  18. NAPPSO: -National Adult Post Polio Support Organization. Yahoo and Google email lists: A National Support Group for Adults with Post Polio Syndrome. Hence the name National Adult Post Polio Support Organization. The primary purpose of this group is to provide assistance, comfort and understanding, information, and direction to those suffering with the many ailments associated with Post Polio Syndrome. P.P.S. is a disease which attacks Polio Survivors everywhere. The effects are most often misdiagnosed by most of the Medical Profession. The victims are often left thinking they are out of their minds or just have very vivid imaginations. They need a place to go where people will listen and understand what they are dealing/suffering with. People who can suggest Doctors and Clinics where they can go for the proper care and assistance they need and deserve. This will be a STRESS FREE place where EVERYONE can get this type of support but, also have someone to whom they can vent their frustrations without fear of repercussions. The people they will be talking to will understand fully because they too, having P.P.S. themselves,have already been through what these people are going through. They will know how many of them have dealt with simular situations. The entire body of members will be made up of individuals who have P.P.S. and are wanting to share with each other their problems as well as their solutions; discovered throught their own experiences and Doctors;to such a large variety of ailments. The subjects which are not allowed to be discussed,on the Bulletin Board or in the Chat Room, will be Politics,and Devotees. We feel everyone is entitled to have their Own Beliefs on these subjects but, these WILL NOT be subjects for discussion on an open forum such as this.

    All membership applications will be Monitored and all Message Posting will be Moderated. The Chat Room will always have a Moderator or Chat Host there when open, to be sure that all Rules and Regulations are adhered to. All persons with P.P.S. are Invited to JOIN NAPPSO

  20. OKPOLIOGROUP - This group's purpose is to offer support and share information on doctors, therapists, equipment, coping skills etc., in the state of Oklahoma. We have a local support group, Polio Survivors of Oklahoma Inc., which has recently been reactivated. We meet on the 4th Saturday of the month. If you would like more information contact me via email (ldokc@yahoo.com) or simply post your request here and I will get back to you. I look forward to getting to know each of you and meeting up with some old friends. My name is Linda and my husband and I live in Oklahoma City. So please join us! We need people from all around the state that can share what they know about doctors and therapists in their area. Those of us in the major metro areas do not know which doctors to refer people to in places like Stigler or Woodward, etc. We need your help and input. It does not have to be experts in Polio but many people need a family doctor that knows Post-Polio is a fact and can be an issue in survivors' health care. Welcome, and I hope we can help each other. NOTE: I ask is that politics be left out of discussions. I belong to a number of other groups and the subject of politics has caused many problems on in those groups. And of course being adults I am sure I will not have to remind everyone to be repectful of one another. Remember we are here to help each other.

  77. THE STEALTH VIRUS SUPPORT GROUP - NOTE: There have been no posts through the group since 2004 as of 12-16-05. "Stealth Viruses" are viruses that have undergone a "Stealth" adaptation to avoid elimination and detection by the Immune System. "Stealth Virus" is a Simian Cytomegalovirus (SCMV) of the Herpes Family whose DNA sequencing can be traced back to the African Simian monkey whose kidney tissue has been used to grow the polio vaccine, and can cause a serious, chronic and persistent infection affecting many organs and systems, particularly the Central Nervous System.

    This support group for Stealth Virus victims will provide an opportunity for sharing individual Stealth Virus journeys; treatment protocols that are successful, or at least helpful; and hope for the future.

    Medical journal articles, publications, and presentations regarding Stealth Virus will be made available. All Medical Professionals and Research Scientists involved in the research,diagnosing, and treatment of the disease are welcome.

    In an attempt to keep the site as professional as possible, I'm asking that the message board remain a place of publication, presentation, and sharing of Stealth medical journeys and treatment protocols. I ask that all personal interaction remain in the chat room , and via personal e-mail.

    I am also asking that we all try to stay focused on Stealth Virus and the illnesses it is known to cause, as well as those we are discovering it to cause, without putting emphasis on any one illness.

  20. INTIMACYFORTHEDISABLED: - Yes we are disabled and different, but for some reason it's hard for others to realize that we have the same needs that they do. Maybe it's time to change that myth about us. We're just as human as anyone else, and we also need the pleasures of intimacy. It's time for some serious talk about this and our needs for intimacy. I heard this, one day: "When a baby is born, if that baby is not held, touched and cuddled, that baby will die." (Not literally, I hope, I'm not really talking about sexuality. Intimacy can also be being held, being kissed, being touched in a caring way. To me, intimacy is more important than s*x alone. Then again, maybe it's just me and my feelings about this subject. This group is not about looking for s*x, paying for services, po*n or anything like that. If that's what you're looking for, there are plenty of other sites that can help you out. If you post this type of message here, you will be deleted from the group.
