Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. You are such a kind hearted person, you truely don't deserve to be this miserable. First of all, as everyone else has said, you are not alone. We are here for you. If you even want to talk on the phone, email me and I'll give you my phone number.
Second of all, you must find a new dr. I know you don't have insurance but this dr is not helping you at all. Can you apply for medical assistance through your state? Have you talked to a social worker? They may be able to get you some financial assistance for your medical bills or even put you in touch with a free counsler, like a therapist. I've been seeing a "shrink" for almost 2 years and it has helped me greatly.
I don't understand why your pain is so great and constant. I really think you have something else beside IBS going on. I think if you were on a low dose of Xanax or Adivan it would help you with the anxiety and in turn with the pain. These are both very inexpensive prescriptions and can help a lot. I also get terrible pain "attacks" from my IBS but they have never really lasted more than a few months at a time. You really need to see a different dr. I wished you lived closer, I'd have you see my dr, she is really great.
I know right now everything seems so hopeless but hang in there. Your life won't be like this forever. I understand the despair, the feelings of just wanting to go to sleep and never wake up, I've been there. I really think a mild anti-anxiety medication and some counseling will help, please look into it. Lots of love and super-duper big hugs!
