I Feel Better at 47 Than I Did at 30. Nobody Is More Surprised Than Me.
When I was 25 I had a plan for aging. It required a specific level of fame. I got the other kind. Cerebral palsy doesn’t get worse, but I’m aging like everybody else, and a body that’s been straining for four-plus decades feels it. A few years ago I ran out of a medication, felt the withdrawal, and decided I wasn’t going to just accept how I felt. So I started experimenting. The short version: I have less pain now than I did in my 30s.
