Cerebral palsy

@LilPolishBoi Well, I thank you for your concern, but you don’t need to feel sorry for *me* — I have CP. I also have a basically happy life. What sorrows I do have are *not* the result of my condition.

Wow. a presentation about CP that doesn’t even mention mental retardation. How refreshing! In the U.S., quite a few doctors just assume that mental retardation is a common part of the condition. … Which makes it doubly hard for people with CP to get the proper access to education, or being taken seriously by doctors and teachers. I have CP. I was almost diagnosed as retarded, when I was 2, but my mom challenged that, and the evaluating psychologist took it off my report (I’m 46, now).

1 in 400 people, how mild are those cases?!

hi, i am deaf and mild c.p. i was born with c.p. i was very sick baby. i learned to walk about 3 yrs old. my family helped me execrise. i am very good and very normal. i walk very good then before. when i grew up, i walked funny then i walked straight now.. my arms are good. no promblem..

@thebloga20 CP is a nonprogressive and inhereditary disease. The baby won’t get the disease from your boyfriend.

My boyfriend has CP, and we want to have a baby,will he or she be affected by his condition?

@LilPolishBoi Jesus or god does not exsist, but i do feel bad for you and understand your situation.

@DISKETTES1000

I don’t think so. Rather CP is brought on by a lack of oxygen to the newborn during delivery

What western medicine does not do is address how to access the brain to re-train a child how to move again so that the problems that occur later in life are avoided. Braces, surgery and stretching muscles do not address the ‘pattern’ that the brain has established in movement. A structural movement specialist does addresses the pattern causing the movement limitations and guides the child to re-learn movement. Search movement therapy of more information.

@BronteShakespeare haha best !

@DISKETTES1000 I think what they mean by trauma physical trauma, such as a hard fall or a car crash.

My son has a form of CP called hemiplegia, which affects the left side of his body. In his case, a stroke that he survived as a young baby caused his CP. His case is quite mild, to the point that many people do not know he has CP when they first meet him. That isn’t to say that it doesn’t affect him, though. Unfortunately, many people tend to group all people with CP together and assume that the diagnosis means that the person cannot live a normal, active life.

Excellent video and accurately stated. My son has a very severe form of spastic quad CP. But he is an exceptional child. He found mobility in two ways. As a result he was able to have better quality of life than those with his similar condition. Very informative!

I have Ataxic Cerebral Palsy and I found this really interesting

my cousin was born prematurly, but wasnt born with CP… it was medical mal-practice but non the less hes still living with it, as a matter of fact hes been training and today hes going to be walking without his crutches thats hes needed his entire life, that or rely on his wheelchair when too tired to walk.

@LilPolishBoi this world is such a harsh place, things just dont make sense.

@BronteShakespeare me too

Could you explain me trauma during pregnency? like stress during pregnency, I guess if mother is stressed out during pregnency it effects the brain development of unborn baby, could anyone tell me if stress during pregnency can causes cerebral palsy?

that is probobly the one thing i can do well in my case anyways i love too swim its one thing i no i can do without a probleme @msdontprocrastinate

i’ve got CP too. i never knew there was anything seriously wrong until my mum told me i had it at birth and i put things together. mines very very mild, i always just figured i was clumsily/ uncoordinated. CP doesn’t affect your mental state, just your movement right?

I don’t blame you I also have CP and it was hard for my parents to hear that from the doctors and the doctors said I wasn’t gonna make it but I did. I only had problems walking on my right leg and now i’m ok.

I had those splints Ahhh memories.

I have CP too, but mine is not serve though, it only affects my left side only. I can walk around my walker just fine, and nobody treats me no differently except for my family. They treat me like im still a kid and they won’t let me as active and independently I want to be. I wish I could move out one day and live the life i wanna live.

@bookwormpianist: im glad your happy..i was born with it so i know how it is..mine was even worse then yours a bit cause i couldnt talk.but somehow it mellowed out a bit and now and can talk perfectly. i dont know how my speech got good but it did..anyway theres hope..

i’m 16 and have muscular CP…both my legs are affected and my left side is weaker cant wiggle my fingers on my left hand ver y well anyway…since i turned 13 i was determined to make myself happy and make mysel feel like i was someone…i speak fine luckily i have no problems with speech..i am now happy to say i did everything ppl said i’d never be able to do i speak 10 languages play 10 instruments sing..i’m also a writer and a photographer i’ve even been on stage….there is hope for CP ppl

i wish there was a doc and attorney like this available 26 years ago ,I would be probably a millionaire today

My boyfriend has CP,and we want to have a baby,will he or she be affected by his condtion?

lawyer and doctor wow lol

My neighbor had cerebral palsy, went to China and is doing great. The treatments there are much safer than the U.S. because of the zero-antigen UCB. A U.S. company did an evaluation and made the arrangements.
Their number is (407) 610-4248

CP can occur prior to birth, during or within the first 2 years after birth when the brain is still developing. Any trauma to the brain after two years is considered a traumatic brain injury.

It is good to know that there are lawyers sticking up for the rights of those with Cerebral Palsy or CP. You can check out my site for support too.

ive always wondered what causes CP. thanks for this
