Hi all I was just wondering if any of you feel like this; I have horrible mood swings, if i was to get into an arguement, for example, with my partner, I turn into a horrible person and rip into her and I say such nasty things. Once i have calmed down I look back and think “what the hell happened there” Its like somthing takes over that i dont have control of. I would like to know if any of you feel like this. Ive not always been like this and my moods just seem to be getting worse. Reagrds, Emma ---

Hi Emma, perhaps you could speak top doc about the problem…maybe they`ll suggest pills or anger management. luv Polllx ---

I get really bad mood swings. The worst part of mine is I can snap with no warning and can be pretty relentless with it. Then 5 mins later I’m either bawling my eyes out or laughing. I’m more snappy when I’m tired and stupid things can trigger it off as well. I agree with Poll though docs is best bet. I know some DMDs can affect moods, although it’s possibly only depression but worth a chat to your MS nurse as well if you have one you can get a hold of and is helpful. ---

Hi Emma, I had these really bad about 6mths before my first big relapse, I was even taking on men in car parks, not good, now I was dx’d 6yrs ago and although I do get slight moods swings I get nothing like that anymore, thank god, now I’m not saying these are relapses, but what I think is it might depend where the lesions are situated on the brain, I have some that are in the area that affects mood, maybe you do, ask the question, take care, x x
