Hello :)

Hello everyone, I wanted to introduce myself as I joined this community today. I am 33 years old and I have Spastic Cerebral Palsy. I found out about having CP when I was 24 years old. It affects my right side of my body, mostly pain, spasms and stiffness in my ankle, calf, lower back and hips. I am also Dyslexic. For the last 10 years, I have been working in the Media Industry, but due to my most recent contract ending, I am not currently working. In my spare time, I like to read, play video games, spend time in nature, cultural and arty stuff, going to the cinema/going to the theatre and anything related to food. I have noticed in the last year the toll my CP is having on my body and would like to connect with people who will be able to understand and relate to what I am going through. Please do feel free to say hello, and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone
