Re: Aaahhhh. help!       01/15/04 02:07 PM Edit Reply Quote Shellsbells Reged: 12/16/03 Posts: 218 Loc: NW England, UK Have you tried the hypnosis? IBS and anticipatory anxiety are kind of a behavioural pattern - an anxiety habit that is self-exacerbating and hard to break, but that's what you need to learn to do - break that pattern. It's not necessarily the anxiety that caused your attacks to start in the first place, but an awareness of some discomfort down there that caused anxiety in certain situations that this would get worse and lead to a full attack - which of course it does when you become tense due to the worry and attention you're focusing on your gut. Personally, I'm sure some drugs may be helpful but I'd try everything else I could think of first. I'm just starting the hypnosis program and am hoping that will help my problems in this area.
