I have had Irritable Bowel Syndrome on and off for over 20 years. I usually have severe diarrhea but this time it's constipation. I was up all night because the bloating was so painful. Have only drank since yesterday except just had some toast with butter. I took a Glycerin Suppository which helped a little but didn't clean me out all the way. Maybe a little more water and two colace tonight will finish it off. It has been four long days since I have had a BM which a long time for me. I'm usually like clockwork
So I cancelled an appointment this morning and called my volunteer job and told them I needed someone to cover. I guess its a good thing I'm not missing work!
This flare up is being caused by the job I lost and lots of extra drama after being terminated. So much drama that I ended up on Anxiety Meds because I was having Emotional and Nervous Breakdowns. I'm really surprised my doctor didn't put me in the hospital. But I'm also glad he is as awesome as he is and had me try meds at home. Im seeing a Psychiatrist, Going to support groups at church and also mentoring one on one with someone at church. I'm staying positive which everyone has noticed for the situation I'm going through.
The anxiety meds are working and have settled me down well.
