Jana, I'm actually sorry you found this. This is the kind of thinking that makes a patient feel responsible for being ill. It infuriates me. See, I guess I have hidden anger. I must only have anger and not MG.

Women are often treated as "lesser" people and it's no wonder we are so fierce. Alternating with depression. It may have more to do with hormones than with pscyhosomatic illnesses. Geez.

I love that you brought up circular logic, Alice. The old chicken and egg thing. My Dad was an award winning debate coach, so I know all this mumbo jumbo.

It appears that the majority of Americans must have MG since so many of them self-medicate or on are anti-depressants!!!!

If I had more energy right now, I'd rip that article apart. Like, where's the scientific evidence for what they are saying? Is there a "test" that proves it? They cling so tightly to the tests that prove we have MG or any other disease. But they can say someone has this "connection" without scientific proof?

Was I angry since birth, since that's how long I've had MG? I don't have an anxiety disorder. I have PTSD from doctors screwing up and traumatizing me. I have anger from being treated less worthy than a fly of proper medical care. Voila, there is a "connection."

As soon as I'm out of toilet paper, I'll recycle this article.
