Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi,

I'm really glad for you and I hope it works. Be prepared to feel worse before you feel better. I'm just getting to the root of my problem and I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster - my body is throwing everything it can at me to stop me going out and all I really want to do is go back to bed. However, I have also had moments of huge hope where I can see glimpses of just how fun life could be if I stop being scared of everything - and thats a very liberating feeling that gives you a huge sense of freedom. I just wish it was that easy, but I guess time makes things better if you keep plugging away.

Anyway, todays resolution (decided when I couldn't sleep yet again last night) - to buy me and my partner a pair of roller blades and to go skating as fast as we can by the river this weekend. We'll probably look very silly as neither of us has done it before - but I guess thats the point, not caring. It seems like one of those things you did as a small child when you weren't afraid of anything - and it would be good to get that feeling back.

I can't believe that in America you have so much hassle getting medical help. Financially it must be a nightmare. I've been paying for my therapist and it's cleaning me out of savings for moving house, but I figure its worth it in the long run.

So, good luck and get well soon!

Catherine
