Pain. Pain.Pain

I think the title says it all. It's worse. Painkillers don't help. I have no Colofac, which might, I don't know. All I have had is tea and water and my bowels seem to be knotting and writhing like snakes; awful pain, terrible wind.
I know what has caused it, but it is out of my hands. As soon as I worry, I can count down the time from my *fear* to when the IBS spasm hits me. I know it is not my diet, because that is plain and very much the same day after day. No, it is quite simply anxiety, and there is so much to be frightened about, to feel helpless about, that I cannot control it or treat it. I just want to scream it all out.
These are the times when you simply want some-one to knock you unconscious for a long time until the IBS has passed. :(
