On August 10, 1921 at the age of 39, Franklin D. Roosevelt was strickened with the first symptoms of Polio. However, modern scientists believe that was a misdiagnosis. For one thing, Polio was a childhood disease. Second, Polio does not start at the feet and gradually work its way up the legs like Mr. Roosevelt's ailment did. It is far more likely that FDR sufferred from Guillain-Barré syndrome, but there is currently no way to confirm that because at this time the only method for testing for Guillain-Barré syndrome requires a spinal tap. All of Pres. Roosevelt's spinal fluid dried up many years ago.
