I'm 37 & have C.P. in my right side. I'm glad to hear someone else talking about C.P. & aging. I went to a seminar 6 months ago on C.P. & the doctors seem to be beginning to look into it seriously. They do not know much right now. Keep up the good work!

I'm looking for information for a report in my psychology class and I wanted to know what it was like to have CP. I picked this topic because my little cousin has CP and so does my uncle, and I wanted to know what it is and how it happens and anything el e I can find about it. Thanks for your website, Sincerely, Casie Gray.

hi i wanted just wanted to let you know that i think your sight is one of the most interesting one that i have come across I have viewed it and i really hope that everything works out for everyone that has wrote you because i am 17 years old and just rece tly was injured in a really bad car accident i feel lucky because all that happened was i broke my thigh bone but knowing how much worse it could have been makes me want to give people new hope from a different perspective, to sum it all up for you if you looked at me then looked at my car you would wander why i wasn't dead (i hit a tree) this is why i feel it necessary to show people a different side of pain. I was a dancer before everything happened now i am currently spending three times a week in ther py to regain full use of my leg, just recently i returned to a dance session, akthiugh it was limited it was still amazing, because my wreck occured only one month ago and my bone is still broken, so please mail me at nikkiritchie@hotmail.com listen to th positive side of things , "There is hope!" love ashley (aka-TY_REE)

Over this summer I met someone that I'll never forget, I guess it is like we both fell in love with each other. I don't see why a lot of people don't want to be near someone who has CP, it's not like they are going to get it to. Kelli has a mild CP, her m in thing she does is run into walls or trip walking up steps. She also has I think it is called 'twitching' where her eyes move back and for at like 50 mph, so she is very sight disabled. But I see past that, and love her for who she is. I am probably bor ng you all, so see ya later!

Just toured your site. Found it be quite informative, supportive, stimulating. Keep up the good work. I'll be back! Us baby-boomer, CP adults out there need to unite. As I see it, if we're not part of the solution then we're just part of the problem

I am a 23 yr. old woman with mild cerebral palsy that resulted from a difficult birth. I am about to graduate from college. I have enjoyed reading this webpage because I have discovered that I am not alone in having mild CP. I often felt I was the only one in the world! Now I see that CP affects different people in a variety of different ways. It is comforting to learn about others' experiences. I plan to check in to this site often.

Thank you for inviting me down. Like you I am finding out more about CP and aging. Like is this affecting my hormone levels. What about chronic pain? and the list goes on. Any info I find I will pass it on. One thing I have researched is Botox Inject ons. The NIH does not reccomend it for adults with CP because it is unsure how the body matabolizes botox. It is also not recommeded for large muscles. Angela

I am a 28 year old man with CP mostly affecting my left side. I believe it’s called spastic hemiplegi (?) All my life I have been very active, walking and bicycling. My expirience is that the training has helped improve balance and muscle-strength. In the last two or three years I have expirienced a little more spasticity in my legs. I am from Norway. Some specilalists in my country says that an too active lifestyle (exercises and training) might cause my CP –condition to get worse. Please let me know if there are anyone with similar expirience -use my email. Finally I would like to say that you have a ve y interesting site here!

I am 46 years old, born with a tumor on my upper spine. I have a form of CP. I have been on crutches for over 30 years after corrective orthopedic surgeries. My shoulders are worn out, I have had surgery on the left. In the last six months I have gott n considerably weaker. I have trouble getting up out of a chair, etc. I have to use my crutches all the time. I do ride an exercise bike at least 15-20 miles a week. I have not found a doctor that knows what to do. I am seeing a Neurosurgeon on Tuesd y because of problems seen on the first MRI I have ever had. Any ideas my e-mail is rdilda@swbell.net.

I am 48 with very mild CP affecting my right side. What I have discovered is the Feldenkrais Method of Movement. That and weight training (Okay, I have been lazy of late but I am ready to get back on track) has helped me greatly. My knees have really impr ved (The muscles surrounding them are getting toned)
