Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: What was your worst IBS attack like?

Ok, I have several bad attacks. One I don't think I could post publically on a message board, I was 8 or 9 and it still upsets me to this day. I don't mind talking about it to people but it's really really embarrassing. Here's what sent me to doctor finally.

A coworker was getting married and we threw her a bridal shower/bachlorette party. The party was on the otherside of town, at least a 45 minute drive from my house. I was fine at the shower but when we got ready to leave for the bachlorette party, I decided I better head home. 20 minutes into the drive I realized I needed to go. It was late and the bathroom situation was limited, I also have a thing with public restrooms, so I turned around to go to the office. Our office building was open 24 hours a day because we had a dispatch center in it. A nice clean personal public toilet. I was sweating soo bad, I had chills, the pain was so bad I could barely breathe so I had to do the lamaze breathing. I started having heart palpitations. All I could think about was I am going to have a heat attack on the toilet like older people. I worked for an EMS company so I was wondering if I should go into the dispatch center and get them to send me an Ambulance. I waited around for a while chit chatting and making up excuses as to why I was up there at midnight. Luckily I waited because it happened again. Then after I thought the coast was clear I headed home for the 40 minute drive taking the path most of the truck drivers took so I could have truckstops. I made it home.
