I suffer from IBS.and it has consummed me. I have 1 son in the military and family here is samll with few friends. It seems i get on track one day, the next all outa wcc. coffee, spices, cheese products and more, i have to stay away from.
I am very lonely, and feel at times my life will be without m grandchildren or son near us. my husband is a good support, and my sister and ex mother in law. Howevr if i have a IBs flare up, i am just at my wits end. seems like i cannot think straight or concetrate like i use 2.
I have tried i think 3 anti-depressants which did really nothing. One i could not tolerate. I have been down this path b/4 after a truck accident, and i started drinking. This was yers ago. 18 or so. i hve hd 5 drinks in 18 years!!! . However since i was diagnosed with IBS, this is a whole new bllgame for me.
I take klonopin now, and prilosec, and an anti-spasmotic...belladonna-?.
It just seems i cannot get folks in my life because i always have a flare up. I am so alone with this. I just would like a fuller life. I am trying to work on this alone, however have since scheduled a counseling appointment. Back to the basics. I also belong to an online support group and tr to help others outside on days i feel well.
your thoughts are appreciTED
