Cerebral Palsy and physical burnout

Hi. Has anyone on here experience this? It's only been discovered within the medical profession over the last 10 years. I'm afraid C.P can and does deteriorate. Has anyone here gone through some form of deterioration and loss of function. There needs to be more awareness about this in the health profession, I think.. who agrees??

I dont agree! I am 35 now and can still do the same things what I did at 16.

I'm not saying it happens to everyone who has C.P, because it doesn't. However, there has been some significant research carried out by Scope. Quite a few members on the website report functional changes.

I have been talking to people with CP and I have found people over 40 the CP becomes worse! Probably the bones joints are becoming older quickier due to the pressure on them!

I must admit some of my joints are becoming worse. especailly the knees and my neck. My neck is because i type with a headpointer.

I am worse now then at 16

In what way?
