Hi Everyone, I am new here and have been reading the boards for the past few weeks. I was diagnosed with IBS in high school. I am now 28 years old. I am very afraid of v* and lately becoming more afraid of d* even though it's a constant symptom of my IBS. Must be that whole fear of losing control. Anyway, other IBS sufferers out there, do any of you feel that your IBS symptoms sometimes feellike you must have a sv* minus the v*? Because so often my stomach and intestines start churning and i feel so sick like I definitely have the sv* and then nothing else ever happens. I think I get so anxious and worked up about having d* that I start getting n* and expect it to progress into something worse. Today is one of those days...and Ijust can't get this idea of expecting the worst to happen out of my head.How can I feel so bad and not be sick? This is something I struggle with a lot. Anyone else ever feel like this?
