My hand

Sometimes my hand doesn’t want to do things. I think of it as my hand having a fit like a toddler or brat. When I have this happens my hand is having a “cramp” and is very stiff. It’s the spastic part of my CP. I take Gaba(pentin) when this happens and it gets better after a few moments. CP In My Mind/Lines & Roses | Instagram | Linktree Leave a comment Cancel reply Δ

I asked this same question on Twitter, but does anybody have spastic CP and also tattoos? How'd it go for you? One thing I wanna do months from now with both vaccine shots is get my first tat BUT The Palsy(tm) gives me basically no control over how my body handles tactile stimulus, especially painful ones in any useful capacity, and I don't want to flinch hard and fuck up the artist or the ink.

I know all tattooing experiences vary based on location, even for ableds, in terms of pain, but if I’m diplegic in my legs and trying to get ink on my inner forearm, for example, I’m assuming that would cut down on Inopportune Spasming as a factor?

"why are you so jumpy"

Why yes, for a typical person I am extremely jumpy. But as a person with CP, I am not. Why is that so hard for family to understand? Don't come to my graduation if you can't support all of me. Including the parts that aren't "normal"
