I'm trying not to have a panic attack. I've had pain now for several hours and it's really not the worst pain possible, but it is ongoing cramps and sometimes they get worse and you don't know when it's going to happen and I have a low pain threshold. Then the panic is making my stomach hurt more. I just keep thinking how in the heck am I going to go to work tomorrow? It's been a long time since I've had an IBS attack like this. And Waldo keeps bothering me when I can't stand to have anything or anyone near me right now. I need to lay down in my room and relax and deep breathe. I feel like I want to cry, but that won't help. I'd like to go to the doctor and get some bentyl to see if that would work, but I know all they are going to want to do is a damn colonoscopy when I already know what I have because I've been dealing with it for years. There's no way to diagnose IBS - it just goes by symptoms. My dad had this same problem. I need to pray for some relief. Being able to write my feelings here helps too. Sounds strange, but that's an NT for you. I don't feel quite as alone.
