Hi Michelle! Welcome to the boards!
So far, physical-illness-wise, I've only been diagnosed with IBS, although I'm thinking that getting checked for fibromyalgia might not be a bad idea. I do also have generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, and I'm on medication for that.
Yeah, I've been told here and there that my anxiety was causing the IBS, most recently from a slightly misguided therapist. I did actually find that going on anti-anxiety medication helped my IBS symptoms somewhat, which didn't surprise me, as there really is a mind-gut connection. But my IBS is definitely a physical problem, and not a symptom of my anxiety disorders.
