defective lacrimation ... laughing & crying ... dysautonomia

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

As a teenager my family had to wait to see if I was going to laugh or cry. It

took " forever " for the tears to show up. It was like I got stuck as my body

decided what it was going to do. With my diagnosis of Dysautonomia I wonder if

that was/is a disorder of lacrimation (crying).

Nowadays, IMHO my yawns [for no reason -- maybe sudden fatigue] may produce

profuse tears. My most weird thing is tears or worse outright crying when my

bladder is too full. I suppose I might be in pain from the suddenly fill of the

bladder. But instead of pain I get reflex tears. Caro.
