For me there is a lot of pressure on my tummy and it sounds like a volcano is getting ready to erupt, and then it does. I have wicked sharp cramps that make me holler out loud. I have to find a bathroom quick. The pain sometimes will last and last and last and last. I usually end up with my nails dug into my palms. Then the hot flash and sweats immediately followed by uncontrollable shivering, teeth chattering and so cold I have to wrap myself up. And yes, I get super exhausted after an attack. This has been a bad week, again, for me. I had to leave work on Wed. it was so bad. And I've never missed a day of work in 12 years b/c of my IBS. I missed 2 days of highschool when I had my colonoscopy, that's it. I'm a trooper like the rest of us, but I'm exhausted...
