Hi, I'm Michelle. Just wondering...besides IBS, what other afflictions do you suffer from? I am also hypoglycemic, on meds for depression and anxiety. I was always told my stomach aches were from nerves or being "high-strung". Anyone else?

Hello and Welcome! My name is also Michele! I also suffer from anxiety and depression, as many of us here do! I also have a touch of acid reflux and I'm prone to panick attacks!

Thanks for sharing. I am trying to find an on-line community that I can discuss all my physical and mental disorders. Everyone here seems very nice.

Hi and Welcome!!! Yes, Anxiety here too! Not on any medications as it's gotten much better as I get older. I'm anticipating a flight to Disney in April so hopefully I can keep it under control. (HATE FLYING). 
I too was told all my life it's nerves. Yes, partly it was but as I got older I was better at pinpointing triggers. Was diagnosed at age 21. Had flexible sigmoid and colonoscopy. Showed nothing so they give you the dx of IBS. My IBS is worse at hormonal times (ovulation and period) A lot of us are that way.
You've come to the right place for information. Everyone is great and feel free to jump in anytime

I'm on Prozac, have been for about 6 years, also Klonopin for anxiety. My brother recently started taking Zoloft. Does it work for you? He was having OCD behaviors. I guess I'm a little OCD too.

Thanks, Lisa. I am flying to Daytona in March. ALONE! My boyfriend and I are going to "Bike Week". We are bikers. He is riding his bike from Connecticut and I'm meeting him down there. I am VERY nervous about flying solo! I don't travel well to begin with. Always worrying about what might go wrong. Guess that's why I'm on meds...LOL...

Hi aerobabe and welcome, try the hypno tapes they are great for alleviating anxiety/stress both short and long term.

Welcome to the boards!
Let's see..I'm on Ritalin/Concerta for ADHD, I have an anxiety disorder, and I'm lactose intolerant. There's a few other psychological stuff in there too, but nothing med-wise.

Can you ask your doctor to give you some Xanax or something similiar just for the flight? I'm not a fan of flying either and they really help me!
