I don't know if I'm in the right area, but I'm sure somebody out there will answer my question.
For the past year I have been dealing with numerous medical problems. I have seen many doctors who don't really know what to tell me. The only things that they can come up with are that I have endometriosis and IBS. I'm not really sure about the IBS though. Only one doctor told me this and another doctor went by the others word and wrote me off a prescription for the pain. I've had the medicine for a month, but haven't started it because I'm just really unsure if I really do have IBS. I have a lot of the symptoms, but the one I'm not really sure about is cramping.
Is cramping a normal symptom. I can't find any inforamtion that lists cramping as part of IBS. I get terrible pain in my right ovary especially (sometimes both). I was going through ultrasounds for ovarian cysts, but they don't think the cysts are the cause of my pain.
Other symptoms that I have are a dull ache in stomach, stomach cramping, feeling sick all the time, headache, vomiting...

Another really odd thing that happens to me...
Once or twice a month I will wake up around 2 or 3 in the morning with a terrible stomach ache. (Every time it happens I think it's the worst stomach ache I've ever had)
It is very painful and it lasts for about an hour. Once I go to the bathroom about 3 or 4 times in a row, I'm fine.
This has never happened to me during the day. It is always at night time.
Has anybody out there experienced this? Is this part or IBS or am I wierd?

I'm really not sure where to go with my medical problems right now? I don't know if the cramping is part or IBS or if it is another problem? And the stomach aches are another thing that I'm not sure about?

Please, somebody write back and let me know if these two things are normal. Actually... Let me know if really bad headaches are part of it to?

Thanks,
Rachael
