Thanks a lot. IBS certainly seems agitated with these cramps. I just called my doc to see what to do. The cramps are really bad and NOTHING has helped. I even took a real pain pill this morning and still cramping. I went to work to teach my morning classes but then came home to rest. I hope my doc calls in something for me, b/c I just feel miserable. Having a support system really has helped. My husband is SO good about it...he went out yesterday to buy me tampons and came home with chocolate as well. So he knows how to help!!:) Thanks for the encouragement. I'll update after the doc calls me back!
