Cerebral Palsy Support Group
Cerebral palsy or CP is the most common childhood physical disability. It is a permanent physical condition that affects movement. There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but various forms of therapy can help a person with the disorder to function more effectively. If you or a loved one has cerebral palsy, join the group to share your experience or get advice from others.
Hi everyone, i'll be as brief as possible. I have CP. For a long time I was too young to appreciate it as it was not what I considered my primary condition. As I also have Haemophilia. Severe haemophilia which along with the CP has destroyed all of my joints.
In recent times I have also developed significant kidney issues and they are doing what they can to avoid the need for dialysis / transplant.
I am in my early 30s, I have had 1 knee replaced, 1 ankle fused, and all of my joints are shot. Yet I can still walk independently and work a 9-5 office job.
Lately I have become so conscious of my walking, I cant stand to see my own reflection walking.
I have absolutely amazing friends and family who are so supportive, but in my opinion can't truly relate to what I wake up to every morning.
Anyways, I am from Australia near Melbourne. Bottom line I am really struggling at the moment with a number of health issues and am looking for others to share support and common experiences.
Thank you.

You are so lucky to have supportive love ones. They will not truly understand what you go through, but I imagine they try. I know where you are coming from, I truly feel that the only ones who understand what we go through is someone going through the same situation. Good luck with your health issues and take care.
