having a rough tummy day again today. I know I haven't been eating according to the IBS rules. And now I'm paying for it. It's so frustrating! I feel angry most of the time right now and panic attacks happen alot. Am thinking about possibly getting the hypnosis program. Funny thing is, my husband mentioned a few weeks ago when we were doing dishes that "maybe you should try self-hypnosis or something." I thought to myself, how does he know about self-hypnosis? Has he been doing research on the internet about IBS and not letting me know? Does he know about this website? Because I haven't told him that I have found this website. Hmmmm? I wish he'd tell me, at least I'd feel like he understood this a little better. Make sense? OK enough rambling......

I am sorry you had a rough day. I understand your frustration completely. I find I get frustrated sometimes because I have to think about everything I put in my mouth and if I go off the diet I pay and I don't always have the strongest will power when it comes to the food I love but can't eat. I am having thinking about getting the hypnosis tapes also. It seems others are having good luck with them.

everyone is having positive results. I think it might be worth a try....I just hate to spend the money if it's not going to work. You know what I mean?

Okay, so I'm prejudiced. Michael's my HERO! He healed me! (Well, pretty much.) So you know I'm gonna talk ya into it, Girlfriend.
What else would you spend $100 on? That wouldn't even buy me a Coach bag! Isn't a "cure" worth $100???
Wow, that was quite a convincing argument. I impressed me. Damn I'm good....

I know exactly what you mean. I was all excited about the possibilities and then when I checked it out and saw the price I decided to do some more research because I want to make sure it will work. I guess if we look at how much money we spend each year on Immodium and other meds it really doesn't seem like that much. And if it works, as many say it does, then it is well worth the money spent. Anything that would make life easier is worth it.

It's because I read your success story and other success stories on the hypnosis board that I was able to finally realize that it might be worth it. When do you fit it into your schedule, though? I always feel guilty for doing anything for myself. I know that's not healthy either....it's just the way I am. I know my husband will be supportive......it's just scary trying something new. Ya know?

Bev,
You have me convinced! I think I am worth the money and I am sure my family would think so if I could live a somewhat normal life. I am sure my kids roll their eyes when they hear me say my stomach hurts or that I have to find a bathroom. Well, actually, my teens probably roll their eyes at more than that.

That is for sure, I couldn't live without my Advanced Imodium and almost panic if I go somewhere and don't have on me. If we had only known we could have bought stock.

Time for yourself is CRUCIAL. You really need to learn to do that. Why feel guilty over helping yourself get better, so you can be there for your hubby and people who love you? If anything, it's commendable!
Find a way to be alone -- somewhere. Hubby and I are (temporarily) in this tiny little 2-room condo. I don't have a place to go to get away (and neither does he), but I HAD to find a way. Since he's so supportive, and wants to help me get better, he left the condo. Every night at about the same time (when there's nothing on TV that he likes), I'd tell him I'm gonna chill-out with Michael, and he beat feet outa here. He takes the dog and says, "I'll be back in a half hour." He goes down to the library and checks out a few books (he loves to read!). When he comes back, I'm done. Every single night. It's MY time, and he has his time as well -- at the library or sometimes he likes to walk the puppy dog around the golf course.
Look at the difference in me. Hubby gets the benefit of having his old wife back again. Before Michael, I couldn't go ANYWHERE. Now I'm ready to go whenever hubby wants. So you see, he actually helped himself when he helped me.
And, by the way, some people don't get "healed" the first time around. They do it a second time -- and in Marilyn's case a third -- and eventually it works. I wasn't expecting it to work for me; I was SOOOO not the "hypnotherapy type," skeptical, thinking it just wouldn't work for me. But I was a mess; I had no other alternative at that point.
Oh, I would have paid ten times the price if I had known it would have made such a difference in me. It is SOOOOO worth the money!
You go, Girl!
