Hi Carla and all-

I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis at age 16 (something that by the way
normaly shows up for the most part in your 60s) caused for the most part by
excessive were and tear due to athetoid and ataxic CP.

Don't you just love it.  :)

<<  For those of you who were diagnosed with osteoarthritis, at what age were
you so
 diagnosed? I was diagnosed with osteo of the thoracic spine at around age 18.
 Degenerative disc disease around the same time. Both related to the cp, and
 therefore secondary to the condition. Both due in large part to acquired
abnormal
 walking posture in aid of ambulation since toddlerhood. The joys of being a
spaz!

 Cheers!
