Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | YOu are all a wonderful support system

Just want to thank people for their support. My goal is be at such a stage of stability and remission that I can be a light here rather than a black hole of need!!

The picture (several of asked) is me from a few years ago but I look about the same. IBS has matured me in painful ways, since I was once extremely vain and was often called the blond bombshell by certain witty friends. I am gay, (awwww shucks, sorry but true) and have a long term partner who was a TV news anchor (so he also had a face that caused women and a subset of men to kiss their TV screens). But when real life hits, in terms of illness and pain, we realize how inanely shallow all that Paris Hilton crap is! Life is to suffer at times, to learn, to be brave, to help and be kind to others, to love, and forgive. FOr all its nasty aspects, IBS has been a tool for me to dig deeply into the fount of spiritual wisdom and come up with better attitudes. Does that mean I have ascended? Nope! Just a few days ago while doing my 3 mile run I began crying ("Waaa") like a little kid. I WANT HEALTH! My partner says I am impatient and that if I had made the heavens and the earth, it would have been a 1 day job, not this slacker 7 day job!

Well, just wanted to thank everyone. As you may know, I am taking mainstream and alternative medicine paths. I started on a anew anxiety drug that is just marvelous (picture me running through a field of poppys on the way to the Emerald City) and also will spend 2 expensive weeks in a clinic where cleansing and other work will be done. Peace. Don't tive up.
