Your support means a lot!
No, I don't have any pain killers; my doctor has never prescribed any for me and I don't even know what to ask for. I haven't had luck with anti-spasmodics, Tylenol does nothing, and Ibuprofen just adds to other problems. Plus, the pain isn't only IBS pain - it sort of all over. I've had enough blood tests to know it's not due to any other condition and maybe the insomnia and pain is fibromyalgia, but I don't even know how to bring that up to my doctor when I see her! And I just don't know if I can deal with another syndrome right now, you know. I figure since the pain isn't constant and not always debilitating, I have to find out other ways to help myself. Right now it's heat therapy: heat pads, tea, hot showers, lying down in front of the heater, looking at glossy pics of hot guys.
I had to call in sick today, so I'm feeling guilty and frustrated about that. And then I get angry because why should I feel guilty about feeling so bad? Anyway, aside from the guilt, emotionally I feel good and positive about life in general. I have hope! The pain is slowly going away - I'm just tired and bored.
