Steph. I so get where you're at! And as they say misery loves company. I spend every day of my life feeling sick. I told my doctor recently that I've been sick my whole life. I don't know what it's like to feel well. Even on good days I have tummy rumbles, pains, and worry about where the nearest loo is. While most mums are thinking about the end of year christmas pre-school lunch and what food to bring, I'm wondering if I'll be sick and how I'll manage to make it for my daughter if I'm needing the loo constantly. I have breakdowns too, where it all just gets to much and I'm constantly telling DH the exact same thing as you, that I wish I could go to bed one night and not wake up because at least then I wouldn't be suffering constantly any more. All I can really say is despite the pain, I keep hoping that they will find something to help all us IBS'ers and how much life will be worth living when they do (and they're going to find something, there's plently of research being done about it). I also live for my family as they're too important to me to leave behind. And despite being sick all the time there are good days where I leave the house, have fun and feel slightly "normal" and I'm sure you have them too. I hope you start to feel a bit healthier soon and if you ever need to chat to someone we're always here. Thinking of you....
