From daliatree's shakes/shivers thread, it got me wondering how many of us also have some sort of anxiety troubles? From the few responses there it seemed quite common. For the longest time I thought ALL my symptoms were due to anxiety, which made it worse, as I told myself I was making it up! Getting it through my head that my symptoms are NOT "all in my head", and that I the nausea and the shakiness are probably due to my IBS has gone a long way towards reducing my anxiety. Also with the not being able to vomit, it makes me wonder whether there are a few other emetophobics (phobia of vomiting) with IBS?
