Hope so & thanks for trying to keep me calm. I think its probably IBS but I did take 2 buscopan tablets which are specifically for cramps caused by ibs & they didnt seem to have any effect. And ye Ive had a hot water bottle laying across my lower abdomen for a few hours. Couldve done without this tonight, I needed a good nights sleep cos Im back in work tomorrow after having a week off due to illness, & have to get up in just over 6 hours & sleep is out of the question for now at least.
