I get this one, too, especially if I am a little nervous.. It is really wierd. Sometimes, something that is only a little bit funny will really crack me up. My mother gets annoyed. I think sometimes she thinks I am laughing _AT_ her.

It's also called "Euphoria"

also sometimes referred to as "emotional incontinence"

lol...this works out great when the timing is right!

I just find this to be one of the most wonderful of all the ms sx's....Although, I'm sure it pisses some folks off when they are around someone experiencing this....I guess its a good thing it doesn't happen everyday....I guess its that special recipe of something mildly funny coupled with weirdly firing nerves.... or something....I just like it! I love to laugh! even if its over the top.

I do the same thing! Except, now I've lost control of my bladder so I pee on myself when I laugh even just a little bit. I laughed so hard the other day, I couldn't catch my breath. And when I laugh too hard, I don't have any energy at all; I go completely limp. I've fallen over in the parking lot before, laughing!

I have a incontinence problem, peeing, bowel\ now laughing....lol

I just recently learned this was from MS. I love the laughter! What a release. I agree that the laughter isn't a good combination with incontinence! Oh, well; the laughter is so worth it.

I laugh so loudly and so crazily that everyone stares at me. My family thinks I'm nuts when I start laughing like this and that makes me laugh even more.

One thing that really gets my laughter going is UTube--the cat videos. Many of these are hilarious! I laugh so hard that my stomach hurts. Yet it is such an emotional release. Yes, MS can deliver the good as well as the bad. I love the laughter.

Hi I used to laugh to my self now I laugh out loud, not very loud but out loud. I get a little confused that I am doing this, but I kind of like it!!!

They say laughter is the best medicine, maybe we will all laugh our way to a cure! Ha Ha HA HA HA HA HA Ha...........................

Hi again, regarding my post #9... I be laughing in my room watching TV and the computer not at McDonalds!! Not yet anyways...

I have had this problem at times as well and usually I am either having an exacerbation or just coming off one. It is usually accompanied with crying at touching moving and stuff. My kids laugh and I am red face.

My kids love to tickle me because they know I have trouble stopping laughing. I don't enjoy it because it is hard to breath and you feel like your not in control. But since they are 13 and 9, I can get them back and teach em a tickle lesson!

now regarding post #11... and not when I am sitting by myself out in public... well I sure bungled my three turns...Next...
