Hi
I've just found this site in desperation to find someone else who might suffer from similar symptoms to me and may be able to share some coping strategies.
to cut a very long story short - i suffer from panic attacks that are brought on if I do not have access to a loo!!! Oh doesn't it sound ridiculous when written down.
If for some reason I can't get to a loo or feel embarrassment at the thought of going; I automatically get the overwhelming sense that i need to go - I'm pretty sure it's IBS but knowing what it's called is not helping.
This then gets worse and worse and becomes a full blown panic attack until I get back to what I feel is a "safe" environment.
Could go into so much more detail but wont!!!!
Please is there anyone else out there with a similar problem? Has anyone found any medication that helps - other than taking out shares in Immodium and such like!
:blush:
