It seems most peoples attacks happen at certain times, mine does but it is every day, some are worst than others. Getting stuck in the rut of not going out, I am supposed to visit my family- but I don't want to. My cousin has also been diagnosed with ibs- it is no fair! Before I told her of my ibs, she was sympathetic, but now she is empathetic saying she knows how I feel. Though it is comforting to have a close person who understands, I hate that she has it, she deserves better, she already has other illnesses to deal with! Before had you said Ibs exsists it is real, I would have have said it is all in mind, maybe even silly, I suppose that is probably why most people don't understand- their ignorance is not bliss for us! I am starting my second and hopefully last year of college but I want to communicate to people that I have Ibs. Do you guys think this a good idea, have any suggestions? Has anyone told a huge number of people.
