Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi, Sharron. Welcome to the boards. I can only speak for myself, but I sure am tired all of the time, too. In fact, they diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but I'm not convinced! I think it's the IBS kicking my butt.

As for the grumpy--- thanks for mentioning that. It reminded me to take my Lexapro. That's an antidepressant that's supposed to keep me from sleeping all day and may help with the IBS, too. All I know is, I don't bite people's heads off quite so much now!

I just talked to a guy the other day who had a sharp pain under his ribs. Not all the time, but definitely during a flare-up. Mine is always much lower. (In fact my original "diagnosis" was ovarian cysts!)

Anyway, welcome. You should find lots of company and information here! Have you picked up Heather's books yet? If not, run -do not walk!- to the bookstore or order them from the site! Shop for IBS We'll all vouch for them-- Heather's been a godsend to most of us!
