Today I got in an argument with my boyfriend about money. He kept interrupting me and I bust out with anger. I have never done that before! I yelled so loud and slammed the door against the wall so hard I broke a nail! Right after that my arms felt so weak and I just cried because of how weak I felt and how unlike me acting that way was.
I am not diagnosed, but I have had multiple symptoms (shock feelings on my body, pain, weakness, etc) The two MRIs I had done said that my symptoms are consistent with MS - but I still need to get the spinal.
My question is: How can I control reacting in these ways without being on meds and how do I help my boyfriend to understand that this really isn't like me to react this way?

I too had issues with self control about a year before I was diagnosed. I would act out of my anger, out of character, then feel so terrible inside afterwards, wondering where it had come from. I did not understand it. Now that I have been diagnosed, more things are making sense, Hind sight is 20/20. The anger subsided, almost out of nowhere - as quickly as it had come it was gone. It was a very strange chain of events.

Also, from what I have read, depending on where the lesions are, depends on your symptoms. This does not exclude emotion and depression.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
