I went to a memorial service for a friend and a person that came with my wife and I said something. Not really funny but set me off. I had to go out to the front steps of the church to get control. Also crying during sappy movies is a problem. It must be the ms damage. I was pretty normal before.

It does, crying happens rarely but I'm clearly more sensitive now because I never used to cry at, say, a sappy commercial, and do probably 50% of the time now. Now....laughing is another story - it's only after my evening CBD/THC chocolates. But, it's pretty bad sometimes - I try so hard to stop laughing but can't stop and keep shaking the bed. And it's never anything really funny that sets me off. Usually it's my partner shoring which he does every night so it's strange that it just every once in a while sets me off. It seriously can take me several minutes of really trying to stop. So strange!
