Learned from an MS patient that she suffers from the most severe neck pain in the wake of laughing fits.
All I could find written in this respect is that, like many other forms of bodily activities, so also laughter can provoke "paroxysmal MS manifestations".
Could this be due to an escalation of CSF shifts provoked by a repeated alternation of pressures surging up from jugular to intracranial veins on the one hand, and such pushing back from abdominal into epidural spinal veins on the other?
Couldn't this question be answered by real-time MRI studies of CSF dynamics?
