could anyone explain to me what ibs, and what it stands for.. and what the effects of it are?


i was looking through some posts, and im gathering that you feel ill more than normal, although thats also a side effect of emetophobia.


i ask because well.. i've been feeling really ill lately, i wouldnt call it stress, although im going through a really tuff time in my "life" right now (hehe, i dont really have a life right now, thats the problem ).. and well.. i feel like im going to v" almost every other day, for the past month its been like it.. and somedays it gets real bad.. an example would be.. yesterday was saturday, the one day of the week i work, i felt like crap on friday, but managed to get to sleep, went to work on satruday on 9 hours of sleep (thats a fair bit for me :P), and am really tired, i end up going to sleep at 8:30pm, and wake up at 3pm on sunday.. feeling tired/under the weather. my guts been having some pains lately, and i keep having periods where i start shakeing.. (i relate them two things to v"ing).. so... it does not help..


my ideas of what this could be is...


1) weather change, my bodys trying to get used to the changed in weather, and because its going from hot to cold, i get the shakes and my phobia kicks in the v" feeling.


2) stress, although i dont quiet understand stress - its possable that seeing as i have a s*** life right now, and as much as i try and fix it.. it just does not seem to work.. maybe thats stress, and making me feel down.


3) IBS , i dont really understand it .. so thats why i made this post :P


4)i dunno what eles it could be XD


and.. well.. thanks for reading - hopefully ill get more tired soon and be able to get some sleep :P
