Thanks for the words of wisdom- I agree about the island. That is why I love coming to this board where people understand more. I wish everyday that I could meet someone in my hometown who has the same issues so that we could go to lunch together and talk on the phone about every little thing. Because no one understands unless you've been there. No my husband doesn't read the boards. I think he thinks it's all in my head. The minute he heard every test I had done came back negative he kind of looked at me funny.. Now he just listens to me complain. He doesn't understand though. I know he doesn't. My friends don't really know much about IBS themselves. They just know I have it and that I don't go out anymore. I completely understand how you feel about dating etc... I think if I were to be single tomorrow- I would probably be alone. I can't say that for sure. But the way I feel every day I don't even want to go out to socialize with my forends let alone try to find someone to become intimate with.
