All of this is so sad & scary. I feel so sorry for everybody. I wish they could find a cure for this pandemic sooner than later. Probably a lot of people are suffering with a variety of symptoms because of stress & anxiety, & their fears. And that could even weaken their amune systems. Stay safe everybody! Hugs & love to you! To your kitties, too!

I finally can see one of my clients on monday.They live in an assisted living apartment. and just lifted the quarantine.

I still need to get it back and signed and then get scrie.
My stomach aches have been so bad. I hope they get better. It is such a poor quality of life. I just ordered more liquid magnesium citrate.

Those emotions don't cause IBS. But when people with it get stressed, their colons react strongly. Research shows that tending to your mental health may help improve your symptoms. A combination of medical and psychological care can be more effective for IBS than medical care alone.Jul 7, 2019

That's right Bobby. Stress can really cause a lot of problems in the body. Does Josh Groban & other good music help? I'm wishing you healthier (no more pain) & enjoyable days. Hugs & love to you!

big hugs, Bobby!! I really don't know what to say really, except that it just sounds so awful! Clearly I don't suffer with it as much as you do and even what I've experienced was/is no fun! When I'm in pain from my menstrual cramps (they get very bad at least 1-2 days every month), I distract myself with television. Sometimes even being on the internet can be too stressful. I actually started them today and the Tylenol is holding them at bay for now (it doesn't always work tho), so I managed to see kitties for a bit and knocked out for a short nap, but I'm basically laid up today. No cooking, no going anywhere.

I second what WL has said, wishing you healthier (painfree) and more enjoyable days! *hugs*

I am sorry bobby that you suffer so much. I wish I could take some of your pain away. Do you have a therapist? I forget.

you are so right. Yesterday night was one of the rare times I talked myself out of my depression. It is also very lonely to grow old and have practically nothing to do with a family. My youngest nephew does send me pictures of his sons doing things like skiing or fishing or cooking!. I broke off with two of my oldest friends and no longer have Suri and my long term neighbor doesn't want to seem to be friendly anymore even those a few weeks ago she rang my bell and gave me a tiramisu.
