LauraJane Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I can laugh for about 10-15 minutes, for no apparent reason, or maybe something so silly, my hubbie asks if it hurts.... but it does at least make him laugh with me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi LauraJane and welcome! I personally don't, but I do find that I'm a lot more emotional since the SAH. I probably noticed it more just after the SAH and I could swing from laughter to tears.....it seems to have calmed down over the last few years, but I don't think that it's completely gone and it's probably worse when the fatigue kicks in. It's called emotional lability http://braininjury.org.au/portal/fact-s ... sheet.html At least giggling is better than the tears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hello LauraJane Welcome to the site. I used to laugh hysterically at stupid things in the first few weeks it still happens occassionally but I agree with Karen it is emotional liability and only tends to happen now if I'm stressed or overtired. Look forward to hearing more from you soon. Janet x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Like you I could laugh for ages for no apparent reason-I had to tell everyone at work cos it got so embarrassing. So they got used to it-but people i didnt know would look at me as though I was mental! Luckily for me it happened when I saw the Consultant and he explaines that this was 'normal' . 4 years on I still giggle but its under control now and only happens when i'm tired thank goodness.
