I got a comment a few weeks ago: “Nobody with CP is that happy all the time.” I didn’t engage with the negativity and they left my blog’s social media profile they were following.

I had a really rough day CP wise yesterday. My kind of CP means I have too much muscle tone, and my muscles often get tight. This is particularly true when I don’t feel great. Yesterday was one of those days. I know why and as soon as it’s safe to do so: I’m going
