Sometimes ibs seems like its gonna take over life. Really to be honest most mornings i wish i didnt have to get up. getting up and getting ready is the hardest part of the day for me. I feel like i am sometimes fighting a losing battle with it. i hope that someday doctors will start looking at ibs seriously and not like whoever has it needs to get on with their lives. if u have ibs u know what i mean. i fight constantly to keep myself going and not to give up and let this whatever it is get me down and i am not gonna give up. i have been on every medication for is lotronex, zelnorm, levsin, donnatol. it all started when i started taking tetracycline i don't know why but that is when it started. if someone could tell me how to get more help please let me know or if they have ibs and just want someone to talk to about it that knows what they are going through.
