<< Beth,

 First, welcome to the list. We're alway glad to have new members.
 Secondly, we also have our own ways of diagnosing C.P. So beware!!! :)
 As our honorary cp'er with PN found out, once we got you., We GOT
 you!!!  :)  >>

MIke is talking about me Beth.  Since I don't really have cp (they adopted
me) I can't address your medical questions but I can certainly welcome you to
the list.  I have a thought about your post though.

You indicated that your doctor never discussed the cp diagnosis with you.
The way that you discovered this information was by reading a document he
prepared for the Division of Motor Vehicles.

That just doesn't seem the right way for a patient to find out about their
diagnosis Beth.  A second opinion might be a good idea.

Welcome again, and good luck.

Betty Alfred
