I was to embaressed to say that so thank you so much for saying it. It does help me alot to get in the mood. A realy hot trashy novel will always put in the mood. My husband will NEVER complain about the money spent on those books

It's probably really a little too soon to tell for sure, but I'm tentatively going to say that the Lexapro IS helping my IBS.
I can't eat "anything I want", and I'm still following Heather's diet carefully, BUT... I've been really bad about taking my SFS, and even worse about eating insolubles (I don't think I've had a vegetable this entire month!  ), and I'm actually NOT CONSTIPATED. I'm an IBS-A, but found myself more on the C side of things if I didn't eat lots of vegetables and take the SFS religiously... so not having that problem pretty much tickles me pink. (Although, yes, I know, I need veggies to be healthy, LOL! I'm working on it, I promise.)
And yes, the D/cramping side effect has gone away completely, too.
Anyway, I just wanted to leave that small update. I'm actually off to my doctor's in 1/2 hour for a followup on the Lexapro... I'm 99.9% sure she'll leave me on it as-is. I feel pretty darn good.

I also used to take evavil at 150 mg for the pain I had with vulvadoina S/P?. I would go months without any pain. I stablized at 75mg but after 5 years I ended up at 150mg. Stress was a majior trigger for my vulvadonia. It is gone now after I had my daughter it never came back. I am thinking it might help the pain from this to. The only reason i haven't brought it up to my doctor is I gained a ton of weight on it and you can't be pregnant on it. I am not sure how much more of this I can take so we may just decide to thank god for our daughter and stop trying 
I don't know. just wanted to share with some else on evail. It did make me sleep like the living dead to.
Heather, that's interesting. I've heard of vulva-whatever. Does NOT sound like fun. I think AD's are being prescribed more and more for their pain-relieving effect, which I think is great. The more doctors understand the science of pain and how best to treat it, the better. They've started calling it the Fifth Vital Sign, after heart rate, temperature, etc. Or Sixth?! Fibro frog ribbit.
I haven't gained any weight to speak of. Maybe 5 pounds, but by counting calories religiously I've lost them. But yes, they sure make me sleep nice and soundly!!
