My IBS always worsens after an emotionally stressful week. My whole system begins to shut down and I lose my appetite and ability to sleep. Luckily, the meds I take (especially the nortriptyline and buspirone) have a calming influence on my system and I don't feel completely annihilated by the worst physical symptom I used to experience all the time, the mind-wracking, dizzying NAUSEA and abdominal pain that used to make me feel like I was being split in half.It is so much easier to live without that kind of pain on a regular basis :)
