Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Paxil and night sweats

I have a very hard to go anywhere, the grocery store, the mall, Target, my neice's softball games, my nephew's hockey games, parties, out to dinner, you name it. All I think about pretty much from the time I wake up is my IBS. I have D, and it's pretty bad. I've talked about eating treats here there but most of the time it's oatmeal for breakfast, turkey breast sandwhich for lunch, and chicken or fish for dinner. I'll be doing fine and then I'll agree to go to a function and then it starts. I literally worry myself into an episode. I leave Sunday for vacation and I'm already getting anxious over the flight and if I'll have problems, what should I eat, am I going to enjoy myself. About 4 months ago I went to the doc about getting something to help calm my brain down, and he decided to put me in the clinical study for the new D medicine, he thought it would take away my anxiety. It helped a little but not much. I felt more confident until there was a gurgle or muscle contraction. Then brain took over and it was time to go. I've created prison for myself and I hate it, but now I've locked myself in so long I don't know how to get out. No one knows how I feel except for you guys here on the board. I try to explain it, but no one can really understand. Does anyone else think about it like this?
