Kimberly, I had a hysterectomy in March of 2000 and I kind of wondered if the stress of it triggered a post-surgery attack. Mine settled down after 6 months or so, though. It didn't last a year. Good luck!

Thank you Chatterstock122,This is sooo hard. I am wondering if early menopause is also prolonging this "Attack"? I am only 38I don't take any replacements, as I am too afraid of causing more pain and constipation. IBS, MENOPAUSE Life is good!!
