Eric, totally OK to post this here.
I am of a personal opinion, that especially when MS is involved, that when we get emotional over things, there is a physical reaction that can come quickly along with it. Hence, the reason 'stress' on the body/mind/spirit/soul is more detrimental to someone with an illness such as MS, than the average healthy individual.
Uncontrollable crying, can be pseudobulbar? Or grief? Build up, stress, so many emotions about your future, ability to participate in life, etc etc.
Were you friends, compassionate and empathetic? Did they call you up, later, even today to check in on you?!
What is bringing about the loss of license? Has your doctor asked you to not drive yet?

They were in shock as well as I and I felt wicked embarrassed.
Yesterday half my arm from the elbow down felt numb plus my pinky and the finger feeling numb on the same arm. It lasted for most of the day and today it still feels weird and a bit slow. It's weird I can move my middle finger fast on that hand, but my pinky and other finger I can barely move.
It was so bad at the store that night that her friend asked how I was going to get home...I was shaking and everything else. She asked if I wanted her to drive me home. I calmed down and said no.
I never acted like that in public ever....in my life..... I got very emotional in just a few seconds....I mean like I just found out my best friend got hit by a car or something, emotional. In just a split second.
I was going to make a thread, but I'll just place this hear..
