Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

You are not alone Ruchie! We are all here to support you. It is okay to feel the way you do. And it is normal! I am newly diagnosed and have just recently started the meds so they have not taken effect yet. The doc said it will take 2 weeks to build up in my system and take effect. So you really need to press the issue with your doc so you can get started on the meds and feel better. I am on day 11 of the meds and I still feel so darn tired I fall asleep at my desk and have aches most days.

I have started to get sleep where I remember having a dream but I still feel tired. I don't think it is enough deep sleep happening and this is probably what is going on with you. You are getting some deep sleep but not nearly enough.

And I know how you feel about the hubby. I sometimes feel that my husband thinks I am just making stuff up since there is no concrete test for any of my ailments but he keeps reassuring me that he sympathizes, understands, and loves me. I am sure your hubby feels the same way for you.

And don't feel bad for asking for help. Everyone needs help at some point in time in their life. If I can't do the dishes or the laundry well than it waits or my hubby pitches in and helps. And I would do the same for him if he was ill. Don't worry yourself to death, just focus on feeling better. And again press that doctor for a Fibro evaluation.

I am praying for you and I hope you feel better soon. If you need to keep on venting we are here to listen and support you. You are a wonderful person and don't you forget it.
