Michelle,
I'm so sorry you're having to go through all this. I can just feel your frustration. It is maddening to have all these tests done----the time and the money spent---and then the doctor come to the same conclusion, IBS. I've only had two tests done, but even with insurance, I will be paying a lot out of pocket. When the bills came in the other day, my husband say, "Gosh, I didn't realize it was going to be this much" and it made me feel so guilty. I feel like my entire family now thinks all this is just "in my head" because the tests did not point to anything wrong. Everyone keeps telling me I just need to relax. If it were only that easy!
I wish I could advise you on what to do. Unfortunately, you're the only one who can make that decision. It's your body and you have to decide if it's worth it or not to pursue this further.
Don't ever feel bad about venting your anger on us---we're the only ones who can really understand what you are going through. I just wish there was something I could do to help you. I wish you were on the same side of Charlotte that I am because I would be happy to babysit your little ones while you go to the doctor. Please keep that in mind. In the meantime, I will pray that God gives you the strength to deal with this. And please vent again, if it makes you feel better! Hang in there!
