Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I just really need to vent

I just need to vent, so thank you in advance to any of you who are reading this.
To start my IBS has been bad lately. I was doing better and now I cant seem to get out of the attack cycle. On top of that I have this infection of the soft tissue right by almost on top of my eye. This started months ago. The doctor drained it, put me on antibiotics (yuck) and said that it would drain and start to go away. Well that was months ago. It was almost gone... now its back and bigger than ever! It looks like a growth! Plus it really hurts! So I went back to see him today and he was dumbfounded! Asked me if I had these anywhere else on my body which I dont and told me that hes going to have to drain and open it again but this time as a surgery. So now on Monday I have to go to the hospital and he is like removing it. I know.... its not that big of a deal in retrospect, but now I am back on antibiotics (I have to take them before any procedure because of my heart) and in process of trying to get out of the cycle of attacks. I bought probiotics today called "Megaflora". So I guess I will try those.
Ok so then... my brother-in-law has major health problems (which puts my situation into perspective and makes me feel guilty for complaining) and he has to get a heart transplant and a kidney transplant- mind you hes my age: 25. Hes already had one kidney transplant but they only last so long... well my husband is more than likely the donor for his kidney. So hes on a major diet now cause he has to lose weight before he can donate his kidney. I realize that when looking at other people and their issues- like my brother-in-law who is in constant heart failure- that my issues arent that bad. But today I just want to complain and cry. I went golfing today (tried to) and had an attack in the middle of my round. I just dont get it! I had rice and turkey! Neither of those things should have bothered me. I think the stress of my husband being a donor and I just feel sooo bad for my brother-in-law. Plus my inlaws all live in Arizona so its not like we can just go see my brother-in-law. Ok...I am sorry I just really needed to vent. My husband is usually really good about me venting to him but I know hes got other things on his mind. Thanks again for listening. I hope you are all feeling well!!!
