So, I am tired of hiding my problems and figure you all should know (mainly Marcus, Sara, Lara, and the others in the group)
I have an instruction for you, yes you. Get a friend, good. Now have them punch you in the stomach, right around your belly button. make sure it hurts, if not do it again.
This is what I feel ALWAYS.
Got it.. good, Ok now, Get that same friend to... wait.. i've got it... you see any golf clubs lying around? oh good, have your friend pick it up and take a full golf swing strait into your lower abdomen... *don't forget to follow through, thats good form*
This is a minor attack feels like.. note i said minor.
Most of the time I deal with the minor, constant pain.... much better if there is a distraction (like friends, or something entertaining... or even better.... both)

I spend 4 hours a day on that magical white throne doing nothing...
I am afraid to go on trips longer than 45 minutes, and hate going to the movies just as much as I love it. For fear I'll have an attack.
To make matters worse, I can't go 'number 2' without some sort of sound so that I can't hear other people.
I can't hold a job because I can't stand people judging me for going to the bathroom so many times, LET ALONE just going to the bathroom so many times.
IBS is the primary reason I chose to quit school... NOT boredom.
I can't get social security, wellfare or any other help, because IBS is a blanket name, not a RECOGNISED disease.
The only feasable treatments are:
1) Morphine *needles... AAAHHHH*
2) Marijauna (low dose) but seeing as its not a recognised disease.... its not *legaly* availiable
3) possibly: a series of very invasive tests, small intestine exam, antibiotic coarse, and then anti-depressants.
4) Death.
I've contimplated suicide before, thats not going to happen. *just to stop those who would instantly think thats my chosen coarse of action.*

PS.. The few times I've been hit in the balls by jeramiah, and sara, I've faked the pain... it honestly hurts less than my stomach's constant pain.
