Actually when I am under severe stress, my tummy is NOT happy! I get diarrhea, and nausea. The cramps, and the pain can be quite painful.

I am NOT saying that you did or did not have something wrong with YOUR tummy, just wanted to share that when I felt dismissed, stressed, pushed off and ignored, or had a hand full of MDs speak to me like I was drug seeking, it would rock my tummy, and wow! it could be brutal. it took me years to make the connection and once I started to see that it was stress related FOR ME, I was better able to control it.

Did it turn out in later years that I have MS? yep! I accepted their diagnosis of Migraine syndrome and anxiety and moved on with my life. I wasted years of my life telling myself to just calm down, when I could have been on an MS drug. Would I have drop foot now? probably not, but I ran the run of MDs and none offered me answers other than I was "high strung"

hang in there.
