Living life with cerebral palsy

PMADrew09

hey Carolina Girl

Names Drew I'm going on 26 and I have lost some sensation in my right arm (mild right sided hemiplegia).. i also have to wear a brace on my arm now because my arm wont relax and it draws up... i was recently hospitalized for my lower back problems and seizures and they think that the doctor may have made a misdiagnosis they believe that my CP might actually be spastic... i don't really understand what they mean because i have never talked to or met anyone who has CP before... so i really don't know much about it...stupid isn't it?

Thank you Drew and Scott. Having cerebral palsy isn't stupid, it is just annoying, but I know what you mean. I become very frustrated with my spasticity/weakness frequently along my entire right side, especially in my arm. My left arm becomes very tired from working ten times harder each day, but I usually continue the fight until the end of the night, when I.can rest, especially my good left side. If you both have questions, or just want to talk, I am here. :-) I know how frustrating CP is, but I do know that there are amazing things that we can do when we try our best. God bless!
