I'm glad that this is finally being brought up. I'm a 50 year old woman with cp and I deal with muscle fatigue on a daily basis.

I'm 38 I was born with cerebral palsy but I was struggling with fatigue in my 20s then I was put on depression meds and now I gained weight. I lost mobility and I barely get out of bed now. I'm always fatigued

I’m 36 with cp both legs a couple of years ago I had a few vertebrae‘s replaced in my neck I was losing feeling in my arms due to cervical stenosis. I was told growing up that my condition wouldn’t get worse that’s a misconception in my opinion. I’ve had many operations growing up, which did help but I feel I’m getting much worse and able to do a lot less aging with CP is no fun.

I'm in my early 30s and considering getting married to someone with CP. He's also in his early thirties. I like him but I'm scared and don't know what the future holds. Thank you for studying this.
