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.
