I often read on this board about 'episodes' or 'attacks'. I seem to have neither, as I always seem to feel ill. Can anybody relate to this? Also I am worried as my hubby says I flinch and cry out in the night when i am having pain. Does anybody else do the same?

Yulp!!!I have daily episodes,and often moan in my sleep from the pain.It doesn't always fully wake me up,but i do dream about it when it's happening.Have you had a colonoscopy to make sure everything is ok?

 

[Stedwell]

Yes, sort of. I had a sigmoidoscopy that turned into a colonoscopy the memory of which I shall remember for ever more! I always thought that pain at night was not meant to be a symptom of ibs.

yeah! i'm all day everyday pretty much! the discomfort/pain differs in degrees and there may be an hour a day that i have no symptoms...but that's it

...luckily, i don't get really intense pain anymore (well, not too often anyway)...but the continuous, consistent, persistent discomfort is enough to drive me absolutely nuts!
