Life with my Stomach

Journaling reads:

I always battled my stomach, but didn't realize it wasn't normal until after my first year of college. By chance, I saw an article on the symptoms of ovarian cancer. After seeing my OB and having an ultra sound, I was cleared - but I was still living in pain. My GP gave me the catch-all diagnosis - IBS.
I spent the next few years constantly modifying my diet, discovering my triggers, and experimenting with supplements and medications. Each different doctor had their own theories and tests. When my gall bladder became a factor, there were even more unanswered questions. It became clear Id never have an accurate diagnosis.
Now, Ive given up on the doctors, diets, and pills. Each day I go with the flow and live with the pain.
Wow Meg that is a beautiful layout! IBS is so difficult to deal with (((Hugs))) You are a strong woman and should be proud of yourself for adapting and finding the positive!! I hope that something is discovered that can ease your pain!
 
I'm so sorry. As a nurse it is difficult to know that there are some ailments for which relief is never found. I will offer one suggestion, if it hasn't been looked into yet - abdominal migraines. It's rare, but it's real. Hugs.
 
The beauty of the page caught my eye, the journaling touched my heart. I hope one day you will look back on this page with relief that this pain has passed.
 
Oh Meg. I think your strength is evident in this journaling. I hope you'll find answers, & admire your attitude!
