Hey Hawkeye,
Hope by now your cramping is gone. I am right there with ya - actually, the last couple nights I've been awake ALL NIGHT since I was feeling queasy. You can probably appreciate the fear of going to sleep (even when you know it will probably help!), since you could potentially "lose control" of not throwing up. And then not sleeping just makes everything worse. So here I am tonight up AGAIN feeling crappy. I hear ya...
About the bad cramps- you were worried 'cause they didn't feel like "Normal" IBS cramps. I can totally understand that. And I've gotten freaked out over the same kind of thoughts. However, I have to continue to remind myself that my body is an ever-fluctuating mass of symptoms that don't always follow a "Normal" pattern, ya know?
Blaming the nausea and discomfort on my IBS actually can be calming for me - that way I'm not freaking out so much about catching a stomach virus. I can just say "It's the IBS again...'cause I didn't do x,y,z..." and it settles me since IBS rarely involves throwing up.
Hope that helps. Or at least comforts a little.
