Friends,



I was so proud of myself yesterday for going 3 days without an
"episode." I had attributed it to the acidophilus I have been taking
for a few days, which has shown benefits in people with IBS.



Well last night my "streak" drew to a close - each meal sat very well,
and then right before bed, I started to get n* and then full-blown d*.
While this was happening my wife was waiting for me in bed. As I was
having my panic attack and pacing the house, she was watching Seinfeld
silently. Eventually she fell asleep from exhaustion.



I took my "patented" elixer of 6 pepto-bismol and a marezine and within
90 minutes (merciful this time) the episode slowed to the point where I
could get a good night sleep, though I did have awful dreams about
being a bad husband.



This morning, I woke up hungry so I ate some light breakfast, and once
I got to work the n* started again. I feel like there is a lump in my
throat and the stomach pressure (gas from IBS???) is really bad. I
can't take marezine at work because it knocks me out, but I've taken 4
pepto and am sipping peppermint tea.



Any suggestions? I can't let this develop into a full-blown panic
attack while at work. Does anyone think I am going to v*? Could it be
an SV?



Thanks everyone in advance.....



Lewis
