hi, TATYANA, thank you for your input; i know how you feel about eating. i don't know what to eat anymore either and i feel i'm becoming inured to food. it's almost as if food is becoming a sad memory and eventually i won't miss it at all one day. i have dropped so much weight that i'm just eating for survival. i use a heating pad too because my lower back hurt a great deal, but now it doesn't anymore and i sure wonder how that let up. if i only i could discover the mystery of stopping my colon hurting. i still use the heating pad merely for comfort's sake. and you're right, it is worse sitting down and feels better walking. (i am going to dare to try sit-ups soon) it's very confusing and scary to wake everyday not knowing what kind of pain you'll be in and that the doctors can't truly help you! i find it ironic that if a person has their instestines ripped out by a severe accident they can pack them back in, but they can't discover a way to make the bowels work normal again when a person has IBS.
often i wish for death instead of living like this, but somehow i still want to survive. when i feel somewhat better, i feel determined to find an answer to control my pain; there must be a way. (i don't believe in the mental control for the pain, so i don't pay attention to that part. my bowels have nothing to do with my mind!)
heck, if there was no pain involved and just irregularity, who would mind so much? here's hoping that all of us can find the answer to being pain free.
thanks again.
