GET ANOTHER DOCTOR ... this one is an a$$hole. If you are desparate go to the ER. At least you won't be home alone there. I ended up running away to my brother's house because I was having severe panic attacks. (not related to IBS)I was so afraid to be alone I almost called my 80 yr. old uncle to see if I could sleep on his couch one night. We ALL have been through something, and there is GOOD help out there. You just have to be lucky enough to find it. My first try was a disaster. They finally got pissed with me and sent me to another hosp. They were great there and helped me a lot. Keep trying and remember we are all here for you.
