beleive me from experience dont let them put you on anti depressants unless it gets to a place where you literly cant handle it anymore. Those things cause some serious side effects that make you issue's now look like a pimple. Some of the things I have had to deal with from them include kidney damage, IBS ~ grinding teeth to the point of actually breaking the teeth!!! so that includes dental damage. Check any drugs the docter gives you and weigh the effects versus the issue at hand.

I will... it was just a thought with all this stuff. I know that this isn't the worst thing that I could have. She did tell me to go on a laxative and gave me something for the spasims.

IBS..

You can live with IBS once you know your triggers - I developed it when I was in my mid 20's.. they have some stuff (I took Levsin) that helps with the cramping. Certain food will set mine off more than others.. I've been living with it for almost 15 years.. you get used to it and it's manageable.. -Mystrys

Yeah...no more random salads for me anymore. My dad has diverticulitis (sp???) so I wonder if it has anything to do w/ genetics. My family decided that they would make a new joke from this... "We always knew Maggie was full of crap". *smirk*
