Alice,

Positive thinking is a MUST as you as a patient know. There are times when I get mad and when I do, my nurse says. oh you are depressed, Why I wonder do nurses or Dr's insist one is depressed if they are angry for 10 minutes?

I was in complete drug free remission for 17 years and I do believe my positive thinking had a lot to do with it. So after 17 years of remission I became angry, not depressed when the MG started waving at me again.

Positive thinking I don't believe is denial or depression but "HOPE" as we all hope, thinking I will die from MG I feel will kill me. Everyone is different and I say hats off to those that put on their makeup or dress up for "work" I myself do this when I go out {when I can}, at least it makes me feel "normal"

Good post you put up
