JenniferLynn Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Well I’m at my wits end. Stressed,depressed and desperate. I’m 41 and have been battling this for over a year IBSD. I was always outgoing and loved life but now I can’t even function enough to keep a job or do anything that involves leaving home. And over the counter stuff seems to give no relief or make symptoms worse. I’m so tired of battling this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Hi JenniferLynn, I am sorry to read that your IBS symptoms are having such a negative impact on your quality of life. I am very new to this forum and I was hoping to lurk more before making my first post. But, since no one has responded to you for several days, I just want to acknowledge that I read what you wrote and I hope things get better for you soon. I saw that over-the-counter medication is not helping you. Have you read anything on this forum that gives you an idea about what you can try next to improve your symptoms?

Jeffrey Roberts Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 I completely understand @JenniferLynn. IBS can certainly take over your life in a bad way. Have you spoken to a doctor about treatment options? There are quite a few available now in various forms. If you could describe your symptoms a little more fully, perhaps we can suggest something you haven't considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula M Posted Wednesday at 04:38 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 04:38 PM Hi, JenniferLyn, I totally get it. I’ve been dealing with regular flare ups for over 2 years and it has made my depression much worse. Today’s episode is side by side with a sinus infection and I’m at a complete loss. Crying, feeling out of control of my own body. I used to be able to push through physical pain. Since turning 50, its like I can’t catch a break. You’re not alone in your suffering! Thinking of you, sending positive vibes. Ursula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
