hello, my name is dan and i'm 24 years of age. i've had ibs since i was around 11-12 and it's mostly been awful cramping that has crippled my life. also i have gerd which makes everything twice as awful.
i must say now that it's extremely hard for me to post something so personal on a public board like this since i'm very guarded and private. but in cases like mine and many of yours, i believe communication is crucial in easing the physical and emotional pain involved with ibs.
i am a bit intimated because for one, i'm male and so far this board looks to be to be predominantly female. this is quite bothersome to me since physically are bodies are different, so i feel i may not relate and find help for certain pains and grief (i know this may sound silly, but i'm just very honest.)
in short, i'm just looking to make new friends and possibly support from people who understand and will not be frustrated with constantly talking about this awful functional disorder. so if possible, i'd love to chat with many of you because i've visited many boards for years, and i've decided this is the most knowledge and friendly information source on the net.
thank you for reading, and see you around!
