Hello, Everyone!
This board is a blessing! Just when you think you've lost your mind, a bit of sanity comes your way!
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in January. I've probably had it for 10 years, but I didn't know what it was. Along with it, I've been suffering with IBS (w/diarrhea). Now I've found out that it's all linked together.
I thought I was all alone in this until I found all of you. **sigh** It's a big relief to see that I'm not suffering alone. Of course, I'm terribly sorry that all of you are suffering, also.
There are times when I'm afraid to leave the house because I worry about a flair up while I'm away from home. Being afraid to go out terrified me, until I saw that there are other people having the same problem. I find that sometimes I'll stop in the bathroom 4 or 5 times before leaving the house. Does anyone else have this problem? It seems like I get so worried about a flair up, that I'm causing them whenever I know I have to go out. I'm a preschool teacher, so I have to go out pretty much every day of the week.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to treat these little "episodes" that seem to be happening almost every morning lately?
Thanks so much for sharing. All of you seem so understanding -- and that's what I needed right now.
Hugs,
Donna
