Here's a big hug from me to you *hug*
I hope you feel better today. I think the best way for you to think of your problems is this: Whether your husband understands what you're going through or not, it sounds like he cares. He wants desperately for something to work for you. Now, doesn't that make you feel better? Now you can try to see through his eyes, and explain things to him as simply and calmly as possible. I understand what you're going through. I've tried this many times with my parents who are far from up-to-date with anything. My mother doesn't speak English and has never heard of IBS and thinks I should just magically get better right away! She worries and I try my best to help her understand, and though she doesn't, at least she knows I'm talking to her. And that consoles her, and she's ready to do whatever it takes, as it sounds like your husband is. And for goodness sake, cry if you need to - I do it a lot too, but also know that the sooner you think positively, the sooner your whole body can quit tensing up and the sooner you'll be on your way to feelng better! The reason I'm rambling on about things you already know and things that may frustrate you, is because in your situation, I've received just this sort of advice, and though it bothers me that the givers of this advice have no idea how horrible the pain and anguish is, they are right about it, and that sends me on my way to recovery. And besides, I DO know what it's like. And hang in there. It'll pass. Just picture it.
