IBS

So, today I finally went to the doctor about an issue that has been bothering me for 2 1/2 weeks. It has to do with what comes out the ... bottom.... and well... I was apprehensive about making this appointment because of just the utter embarrassment of talking about your.... bowels...
so... This all started shortly after having my dental visit. I do not have an issue with having my dental work done... I just dont like when the anesthesia (novocaine) wears off. It lasts about 7-8 hours for me typically and at that point, it all goes... crazy ... for me. I get super anxious and then once it is all done I am fine. but at that point of being numb ... to normalcy... I am super anxious. I guess the last time this anxiety threw me in to a bout of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
After all of these years of worrying about Chris and his Gastrointestinal issues... it is ME who has a bout of nastiness in my life.
So... I am still struggling with issues related to this bout and they have prescribed me several medications. One of them I am not sure of taking.. it says it can cause drowsiness on the bottle. I have 4 kids. umm... no time to be drowsy!
I am going to go back in 1 month and let him know how I am doing.. and I also have to schedule a physical. oh, and I am behind on the annual woman doctor appointment!
So, I am hoping that I can quickly resolve this problem and that nothing brings about another bout of this!
