World CP Day, 2017

I had originally written a piece specifically for today. But I have decided to feature The Mighty's piece on today's celebration. For those that have not heard of The Mighty or the medical condition Cerebral Palsy. Here's the cliff-notes version. First Cerebral Palsy, (also known as CP) is the most common childhood disability yet. It affects nearly 17 million people. CP is generally caused by brain damage that occurs during or shortly thereafter the child is born. There is more than one type of CP and can affect a child/person in different ways, and the severity of the CP can also vary.  The Mighty. is an online platform that allows people with various disabilities and chronic illnesses/chronic pain etc, to write, discuss, and educate people on what its like to live and manage with whatever the challenge may be that they happen to have.. And today being that it is world CP Day., the mighty has done a featured where they featured and quoted 6 of their contributors, (myself included) To give the public "a deeper look" into the life of someone with CP.

Let me make something clear, I am not just featuring this story simply for my contribution to it, or because I happen to be a contributing writer for The Mighty, but more for the simple fact that CP not only is the most common  childhood disabilities but, it is also one of many that have far too may misconceptions attached to it. Which leads to misinformation, and being ill-informed. So, without further adue, here it is. Congrats to my fellow contributors, and CP warriors. We got this!
Founder/Fellow CP fighter,

The statics vary as to how many women have PCOS because the criteria for the condition is always changing. But here is what I found under The National Institutes Of Health. One in every 10-15 women gets diagnosed with PCOS. I also heard that about 50% of women do not know they have PCOS. Via, pcosdiva.com I also found on the site, rightdiagnoisis.com that about 50% of women are insulin resistant.
