I think not feeling well can lead to being more angry...especially if one has pain with this disease. I have discovered not really more anger, but that if I do get angry, it happens all of a sudden (like it sneaks up on me) and catches me by surprise.

Yes, I wanted to bang some heads together on a daily basis just driving down the street. I put myself on a natural supplement program that helped with this and many other symptoms. I feel like me again. I'll forward a message to you that I had already sent to someone else. If you're willing to try it I hope it works for you.

Yes! It took years to get past that.
I now have a low tolerance for ppl who piss me off. Stress and aggrevation i don't need. A few years ago i was angry with the human race. However, they don't know what i know. It is unjust for them.
Emotional imbalance is a part of it too.

it's verry hard not to get angry, you just gotta remember if you sit down n cry , what good does it do,someone is always worse off then you is my attitude , have learned laughter is the best medicine and allways keep a bottle handy,remember we are all behind you pushing you and I promise not to push ya in front of a bus lol

yes I have these feelings sometimes too more than I ever did. It is a constant battle, but I fight the battle because I don't want to be angry. Lots of Love kim

HI, YES, JUST CAN SPEAK FOR MY SELF..BUT I KNOW I'M MORE ANGER EASYER, DON'T TAKE MUCH TO SET ME OFF..TRY TO HOLD IT BUT NOT EASY...I'M A EASY GOING PERSON, BUT NOW I GET MAD QUICK..WE CAN BLAM MS I GUESS...

I actually asked almost this same question. I am constantly angry and irritated. which is not like me at all. i am the most happy go lucky person you'd ever meet. everything annoys me. Luch time at the office is awful because i can hear people chewing and it makes me slmost freak out. but i wasn't like that before. Someone else on here suggested i ask my doctor for anti-anxiety medicine. I am going to try that. Maybe it would work for you also. Good Luck!

I use to be very angery. That was before finding out I was living with ms. I still get angery but in a f up kind of way Im grateful for ms. Before I was just wasting my life finding negative n everything. Today is a gift and I try to treat everyday this way. Yeah I have ms and it does suck butItry to find the positve today and I feel lucky to have today. I see people everyday that have it a hell of alot worse off then me but they still carry on and that gives me strength. We all deal with it different. And i still have my share of what I call ms days but I try hard to find the positive

Anger is not the emotion I usually experience. I will cry and be quite upset for some time. Some nights, I'll cry myself to sleep (although that is better now that I take xanax).The other thing is that when I laugh hard at something it leads into crying and I have no control over it.

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD ANGER ISSUES BUT DEFITNALLY HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I TRY MY BEST TO CONTROL IT DURING THE DAY WHILE THE KIDS ARE UP. I HAVE WENT BACK TO SMOKING CIGARRETES BECAUSE OF THE STRESS AND IRRITATIOMS. I HAVE ZERO PATIENCE FOR THOSE WHO ARE OBLIVIOUS TO THIER SURROUNDINGS. BUT YEAH, I FIND MYSELF SNAPING AT THINGS THAT I SHOULDNT......AND I SERIOUSLY GO OFF ON THOSE WHO I THINK DESERVE IT.....HEHEHEHE. NEVER MY KIDS THOUGH.....THATS WHERE SMOKING COMES IN. GOOD LUCK, TAMMY

Actually, my husband noticed me becoming more angry leading up to my diagnosis. I think it is part of the disease, just like cognitive problems. Now when I find I am losing my patience with folks (family, friends, etc.) I try to take a step back and look at the situation as an outsider would and make a judgement whether the old me would be this angry. Most of the time I find it's just the changes in my personality because of the MS that make me feel angry.

Yes, I used to be a sweet and quiet person. Now I feel I am becoming more bitter and angry. I don't like that about myself, but I basically lost everything I had and cannot get proper medical treatment.I know things could be a lot worse. I still have a job and a place to live.

YES! I seem to be more impatient as well.
My husband talked the doctor into putting me on an antidepressant and that has really taken the edge off. Sheri

I found my tolerance was lower, keen sense of hearing would set me off because I could hear people smacking or whatnot... I told my Neuro of this and she put me on Lexepro - been great every since - but it does seem to wear off toward sundown - so I just warn folks - if I say something bad - I say my meds wore off - lol
You just need to find something that will help you - MS has a way of triggering anxiety and depression - good luck !

yep! my anger "issues" are worse. :(
