MK - A lot of CP'rs have spasticity that fluctuates aoocording to stress
and moods so you're not alone in that respect. I know that when I'm tired
and stressed out, I am more rigid in my leg than when I'm more relaxed.
There's a direct link between brain chemistry and how your muscles react.

------------------------------
another thing is, unlike almost everyone with CP, I don't have unusual
muscle tone. I was told that technically I have CP b/c I was premature
and damage to my cerebellum has affected motor skills and other things
when I was born. but unlike almost everyone with CP, I don't have
muscle tone issues except with fluctuating spasticity and weakness when
I am upset.
so that - almost the vast majority of what people say about CP does not
apply to me. in terms of how they are affected. except that motor
skills are very difficult.
