So I'm am actually losing weight instead of gaining.  I still wake up with stomach issues and IBS.  This has been going on for a year already.  I went to my GP and filled him in on the GI docs I've seen and how I've gotten no where with them and other stuff that's been going on and I swear that it seemed like he didn't care.  I told him that no one I've seen has helped, except an acupuncturist.  I don't know what it is about doctors in general, but if I was a doctor and I was sitting there listening to someone say that he wakes up every morning with loose bowel movements and vomiting and upset stomach and that he's lost like 12 pounds over the 8 or 10 months and that his anxiety and stress is through the roof.  I think I would do every thing in my power to figure out what's going on with this guy and not let him suffer one more day longer.

Anxiety

Dec 16, 2008 07:36AM - 1 comments

I have recently noticed that my stomach gets more upset the more I get nervous about stuff.  I used to think that there was really something wrong with my stomach, but alas it's just anxiety.  I can't continue to live like this.  Losing weight and getting sick because of anxiety.  Every weekday morning I wake up sick.  Less sick on the weekend.  I guess it's because I don't really like my job.  I work for a government contractor and it's very stressful because people all around me are stress out.  I'd rather not work here but I can't find a new job and what I feel like doing is taking some time off from working to decrease the stress so that I can start on a medication.  I have worked with a doc to get me on a medication but my stomach is so screwed up that every time I take something I get sick.  I am not on any medication anymore because my old stupid doctor decided in his invinite wisdom to take me off of it.  Now I am a wreck.  Every little thing that I get nervous about my stomach goes into overdrive.  I have so many stressors in my life it's not healthy at all.
