Re: not coping

just part of IBS i think @Snowie new symptoms though so ill run it past the specialist and make sure its not something more sinister.

i cant just sit around to much. it bores me and then i start going crazy. plus the mess around here makes me angry lol


lol Izzy would be happy to go for walks or sleep or whatever as long as its near you id say!

Re: not coping

Glad you are relaxing in bed @Shaz51 Hopefully that helps and you can get some rest.

Me, okish. Just relaxing on the couch with the dog.

Was going to cook tea early but can't be bothered.

Re: not coping

Well hopefully your specialist can help you out @outlander It might be just part of your IBS but you still got to go through it and put up with it.

I find it very hard to believe you can't sit still hon!!!! You are like an energizer bunny, just go and go and go.

Yes, she does follow me around most of the time!! At the moment she is sitting next to H becasue he has some food. Food is more important then me 😂😂

Re: not coping

i think it is just part of it but im still learning alot about it @Snowie my specilist said there could be another medication or 2 that i could give a go to try and ease symptoms, wont fix it but might help make it more manageable but i was trying other things first that generally help. with all my allergies though as well it makes it very difficult so another option might be worthwhile looking into.

lol i am a tired energiser bunny. every part of me is tired but i just cant sit still for long! drives me crazy sometimes that i just cant sit still and watch a movie i have to be doing something!

haha yes i know that feeling. our dog sits near whoever is eating and barks for attention till you give her abit. you gotta share otherwise she wont stop. and she will sit and stare at you lol

Re: not coping

I guess the more education you have on it the better you might be able to control it. I am glad your specialist is willing to try something else too to make it mre managable for you.

Perhaps you can yourself short 5-10 mins break evey hour or two. That was you ca still get some "me" time in there @outlander

Izzy has very good "please give me food" eyes!!! Or she sits in front of a container in the pantry that has her treats in it and will winge until you give her a treat.

Re: not coping

yes @Snowie ive done lots of research but the specialist has been helpful. lockdowns made it abit harder but he will still do phone apppointments and has sent some resources for me to look at when he first diganosed me as well

they are smart! they know where the treats are kept!
