Ok, let me clarify, i am not depressed, and i do not take anti-depressants, just acknowledging that some days it is a difficult and yes, at times sad. For me personally, I think mental anxiety plays a large part in this illness, if i think a beer which make me appear, be like a falling down drunk, it probably will however it is also very possible whether i have a drink or not. By the way, today was NOT one of those days as i am feeling good from the IVIG but that too is sommething difficult for me...can feel pretty decent and later not so much.
