Please don't feel like it's the same cr*p when you vent! We hear every word. Before I have an attack I stress like mad, but nothing close to what you're describing... Have you tried provoking a stomach attack to get it over with? IBS is very time consuming and inconvenient (to say the veeery least). I sometimes provoke an attack when it interferes with other commitments, like my bedtime! No use being up in the middle of the night for hours, when I can give myself an attack at 4pm and get it out of me. Maybe tho it's a D thing. Empty is better! Then I can overload on antispasmodics and pain relief and be safe (relative to being a loaded gun) before I go to bed. {{{HUGS to you!}}}
