Does MS mean "no filter?"

Post by curiousminds »

Hi all,

I'm curious if having MS can mean that you have no filter in what you say or how you say it? I know there can be uncontrollable laughing or crying, but does it affect your speech?

I'm just trying to understand a friend's situation. She constantly mumbles to herself and says whatever is on her mind. To me, it sounds like she just doesn't apply a filter, but she claims it's because of the MS that she has no filter. Does this seem right to anyone?

Don't blame the victim. Try text, or email. It is intention stress brought on by trying not to miss the target, which guarantees the miss. Nobody intends to cry, laugh, mumble, or be dis-inhibited. We share these symptoms with other brain injuries such as stroke, and with alcohol or pentothal.

For a period of time it affected me in a similar way but I have known individuals with 'no filter' that were not sick.
