Steve,
My emotion hormones must be low, except for laughing. So far I haven't had to experience anything like you described and I'm thankful I haven't.
I've always told jokes and been the laugh of the party. About my third day in the hospital, I told the doctor "my leg was jumping and shaking real bad while I was in bed" and I thought it was trying to get up and go without me. He almost fell on the floor laughing and said he know I was alright! It was 4 months later before I went home!

I added not applicable to the choices to the second question. If you answer no to the first question, then none of the choices for question 2 would apply.

Hi Folks....
Ria, I think the n/a applies also if you don't know what it is, or don't know it by that name...Pseudobulbar I knew about...
My Doc has had me on an antidepressant (Lexapro then Citalopram) since day one of my Stroke....I suspect that my be why I've not had that particular affect...
On the other hand...I am known for improper (according to some folks) responses....<G>.....But those aren't usually emotional...
Care...

I found that my emotional lability resolved itself after time. I still have to careful with what I expose myself to but It's thankfully gotten better.

You're early yet in your recovery, I can sense the frustration you're feeling, it's not unusual but it can be so counter productive. The two greatest hindrances to a full recover are frustration and depression, getting frustrated, just makes the task at hand all the harder. You must learn ways around this emotion. Speak to a medical professional, there are things that can be done.
Depression is a normal response to a devastating illness. It happens to most all of us, please talk to your Dr. about this, there are medications that can help.
The rewards gained back at times may seem small but the satisfaction is immense, keep trying!

I just would laugh. Times where I knew I should be serious or sad, I'd laugh and offend people. I couldn't help it. I still do.

I have had issues with this, they would be far worse if I wasn't taking Wellbutrin. Most of the people I am surrounded by don't understand this and act accordingly. I will cry easily, sometimes without cause, sometimes with reason but not to the extreme or extent that I do. Given this I feel isolated and very much alone. Coming here and reading about this has been of immense help, thank you

and an improper response may happen at inappropriate times. This is called the pseudobulbar affect. Pseudobulbar affect (PBA), also known as emotional lability, is a distinct neurologic disorder that causes sudden and unpredictable episodes of crying
, laughing 
, or other emotional displays.
