Hi Linz,
Thanks for the thread. It's nice to know there is support out there.
So I was reading on this site tha IBS is usually a pain in the lower part of the belly but you said something about reflux; I was wondering about that. See my pain was in the upper and lwer part but the most severe pain was in the upper, right under my chest in the middle. it was like a twisting up in knots feeling that just went on and one. i would get little breaks here and there but for the mst part I was in pain. Do you think the reflux can cause the pain of IBS to move around more? I tried the perppermint tea and it seemed to upset my belly, although it was very nice and soothing 
So you have Fibro also? It's been so tough. I just turned 32 this July and I have had my fibro since I was 25, terrible. I have learned to accept the pan and have found ways to deal with it and now this  - it seems like if it's not one thing it's another. I know that my nervous system s my worst enery. I have recenly been under a lot of stree lately, stress i was not even aware of until all of this started. I moved away from my family due to a job transfer of my husbands. It has been very hard on me. We have been away from home for about 2 years no and I am finding it quite hard to deal with. I feel that now, i need muy family more than ever and I am so far away. Stinks!!
Anyway, the medicine part of it just isn't happening for me as I suffer many adverse reactions/side effects from many medicines - espically anything that is mood altering/brain altering. I just am so chemically sensitive and my bosy can't handle them. I have something here called lorazapam, very small does .25 mg. i don't take them cause they cause really bad angry bouts/mood changes, nightmare and headaches. I have them for extreme emergencys cause they do help at the moment of the panic or anxietyit's he days that follow that are hard. it's like i am having somesort of withdrawal reaction. For me, I think the best approach will be some answers and then big life changes. It's a scary process but one I am willing to take.
I heard someone say something recently that really got inside my head, he said: "It didn't come to stay, it came to pass" He wasn't taking to me just adressing a group. I am trying to keep that in my head cause I know this will pass but it is here for a reason and I need to change in order to fix it. I am very sad right now but I know it will also lead me to a better lplace cause I won't give up until it does.
Suppport is what we all need. I think this is a great place for people to talk and help each other. Do you know if there is a chat room? A chat room would be great.
Thanks again for the thread and support. You sound very positive, I wish you well.
