Re: Beth       08/31/05 10:13 AM Edit Reply Quote Dr. Spice Yamin Reged: 04/15/04 Posts: 3286 Loc: Maryland I agree with what Rachel said. I have friends that are doctors and they are turned off when people come in and rattle off a list of ailments, disorders, sydromes, dysfunctions etc. (I know it sounds stupid bc they are supposed to help, but I think its definitly the case). I think rachel has a point, that you might be better off starting from phase one and going in and saying you dont' know whats wrong with you. Perhaps you dont' even have ibs because none of the conventional cures to ibs are helping you in the slightest. your previous doctor could just really suck, and perhaps starting over from scratch might be the best idea. Also, I hope you're not offended by this bc I know you are sensitive but I really think you should try really really hard to look into the therapy more. I think in the long run, it will be worth the debt. I realize that its a fable that the IBS is all in someones head, but I do think is some small way that mental health, stress, self esteem can all play a role in our symptoms in some caes. I know that you said that you had low self esteem and that you can't make decisions etc. I couldn't even imagine not being able to make decisions and the stress this must put on you subconsciously and consciously. Perhaps inside you're so twisted up by stress and anxiety that its making you even more constipated. maybe seeking a counselor will help you to gain self esteem, develop the ability to make decisions and take some of the strain and stress off your poor body. I honestly think that counseling and developing the ability to be confident in yourself and your decisions may actually help more than fiber, dieting etc. I hope you don't get offended, but as a counselor myself, I know how important self worth, and self esteem is in regards to our bodies. -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
