It didn't hurt, because she'd already shot the numbing stuff up my nose with a syringe. That hurt though!!! It stung really badly. The swab just felt very, very odd and uncomfortable.
For IBS I have constipation and diarrhea, a lot of bloating and a lot of gas.
Between the IBS and the GERD if I don't have medicine, and a lot of it, I just spend all the time feeling nauseous. Sometimes I feel hungry inside, but the smell of food or the taste of it makes me sick.
The worst problem with the GERD is the terrible back and chest pain. I used to worry I was having a heart attack cause I get that tingling in the arms they talk about.
