It's difficult not just with friends but with family. My husband wants to know why I am not ready to up and run at the drop of a hat. I said I am trying to tell you I have IBS and what that means. He said he wanted to know, but not right now. Maybe another time. Well sometimes I feel good and sometimes not and when I am not I am a grouch and want to be a bum on the couch. We are driving to Panama City this Thursday for a weekend at the beach and a car show. He gets mad because I won't "commit" to getting together with friends on Saturday to drive up and down the strip. What he doesn't get it I can't say yes or no because I don't know. My mom is trying to understand and has made an effort to understand how I feel and try to find foods I can eat. The most frustrating part is work. They totally don't understand and I have tried to explain some but they still don't get it. I can be fine one moment and then the next I can be having an attack. Then it goes away and I am ok. Some mornings I can't even get to work on time because of my problem. They just don't understand, but I need the job. I am glad I can come here like you have and vent to people who truly understand.
