Does anyone else with PLS have this?
Mine is doing much better since starting effexor. I've only had a few instances, but I was able to get it under control quickly.
Anyway, despite my husband being witness to it, I don't think he understood what was going on. But the other day I saw a commercial about it. I was like, look! look! That's what I have! I think he might have gotten a better idea about it since he saw it's a real thing.
All in all I think he's doing pretty well rolling along with it. One of my biggest triggers was being intimate. It would send me into a laughing fit that I couldn't stop. I would get laughing so hard I would cry, then I would end up crying hysterically. Once it was done we could go about our business. lol
Also had the random crying at other times. And tiny things that might normally get a smile out of me would get me laughing so hard my sides hurt.
And I have had times that I would be fine and then all of a sudden I would flip out and get so angry. Not sure if this is included in PBA or not.
Anyway, luckily the effexor is regulating things pretty well. Neuro says if it stops working we'll find something else, that everyone reacts different to different meds. But he's pretty confident I'm at the point I would start laughing at a funeral for now. (which I could totally see happening)
Sorry this is all over the place, just wondered if anyone else had seen the commercial?
