I'm sorry that you think I am STRESED. But I am not.We live a simpe life are

able to pay our finances and get extras. No reason for me to stress.Yes I have

fibro and IBS but stressing out will not fix it.So why sit back and stress

yourself out.I don't see my doctor ALOT I have my pain pretty much under control

with water areobics and if I cant go somewhere,I just dont.But i dont stress

over it.I have a very supportive and understanding husband.I have not lost

friends or my husband and I dont just SIT at home.I still work and have coffee

time with friends.Some days I go out even if I dont really feel like it.WHY?

Because I refuse to sit here and do NOTHING!Sorry you feel differently about my

life,but your wrong.

fibromyalgia and IBS you ARE stressed! How could you

not be? Your life is a continuous whirlwind of chronic pain,

doctors visits, and a loss of joy of the life you once had.

Most of us have lost friends, significant others, jobs etc... And,

we sit at home all day thinking we are NOT stressed. Of course we

are!!!!!

If you were not stressed and your life were perfect you would not be

here in the group listening and asking advice.

I don't take antidepressants because they don't agree with me - and

though I may tell myself I'm not depressed, I have to be reminded

that I really am due to my circumstances.

Just my thoughts on this....

> A lot of fast moving IBS is brought on by stress, or stress adds

to it. That is why some docs prescribe the anti-d's. You may

say, " i'm not depressed. " And maybe that's true. But balancing out

the seratonin in your brain can make it easier to deal with stress,

thus easing some of your IBS symtoms. Not saying you HAVE to take

them, just explaining why they might be prescribed.

SO BAD and still have a few mins to spare.then there are times where

I HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW! I hate the horrible cramps with it! I got

dizzy sitting on the commode one day because the cramps were so bad.

I hate IBS so much! I love love love broccoli but if I eat it,I am

going to be hurting for certain. I really need to take fiber daily

so it will help the IBS. I also found out that the doctor gives you

antidepressants for IBS. I REFUSE TO TAKE IT! LOL,I refuse to take

any meds so what am I talking about,lol
