Hello All

[franfhm]

Hey everyone :D

You wouldn't believe how glad I am to have found this place, I can't wait to get looking at some of the help and advice on here.

Anyway, a bit of background about me...Since I was 15 I've suffered with tummy trouble (am now 22). Been to the doctors countless times over the years and have been diagnosed with IBS, "grumbling appendix", food poisoning and most recently heliobacter pylori (tests came back negative).

The last discussion I had with the doctor was that I was suffering from anxiety and stress - which is causing all the problems.

I managed to get rid of this a few years back, and it didn't come back until Christmas last year. How it went I'll never know, as I drank and smoked waayyy too much [8)]

It came back due to my boyfriend picking up a stomach bug, and was sick several times over a few hours. All of a sudden it got me running to the bathroom too. Since then I've been suffering these little anxiety attacks which are really starting to get me down.

My boyfriend and I have just bought a new flat, and are due to move in within the next month, but with all the excitement its bringing lots of heartburn on - I can't win [Sigh...]

Anyway after reading some of these posts on here I no longer feel alone and it makes me feel a whole lot better that people will understand :)

Sorry about the essay!!!

Welcome,

I hope you find these forums as beneficial as I do.

It's often easier to articulate how you feel in type than verbally in person and in here you can raise anything and find that, no matter how bizarre or unique you might think your problem is, the chances are there's someone out there watching the forum who's exactly the same, suffering like you, worrying like you .... and getting better like you.:D

Happiness and light to all,

I saw her once, one little while, and then no more:
’Twas Eden’s light on Earth a while, and then no more.
Amid the throng she passed along the meadow-floor:
Spring seemed to smile on Earth awhile, and then no more;
But whence she came, which way she went, what garb she wore
I noted not; I gazed a while, and then no more!
