Either way you have misunderstood what psychosomatic means. There is a strong link between mental health and physical health. Depression, anxiety, stress and phobias are just some of the things which can either cause or exacerbate physical symptoms. This does not mean that those physical symptoms are not real, made up or 'all in your head'.
I don't know enough about it to make an educated suggestion, but as CP is caused by brain damage is it possible that they are just getting an updated information on this damage? (sorry if that is a real stupid question)
I hope this gets sorted out for you soon.
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change!
