| Re: had my test!
I know everyone here will understand me when I say that we IBS sufferer's must be the only folks who are actually DISAPPOINTED when their scope test's come up negative. I know I have been because I so desperately wanted a diagnosis of something that might be CURED or treated effectively.
Take a deep breath and try to think of this as a way to be creative and proactive about your health. I've been experimenting for 20 years now to find something that will "work". Some things do, for awhile, and then they cease working. Even now, after all these years, I am still learning and trying to keep an open mind. I will be seeing a new naturopath (the 6th!) next week and praying he has something to offer.
When I was raising my son, I used to make myself feel so guilty if I couldn't follow through on things because of my gut. Don't put yourself through that. It's the downside of having a disorder that people really can't see. And most of us are really good at the stiff upper lip so often our family and friends don't realize how much we suffer. At this point in my life, everyone knows I have this problem and when I meet new friends, I tell them also. It's my way of letting them know that my life is unpredictable and I am doing the best I can.
