IBS....Do you have suffer from it....

Hey, I was wondering if anyone on here has any information on IBS I have search and have come up with a few websites but not the sort of information I was looking for! I want to know first hand how you guys cope with it, as I have what I believe to be IBS and I'm waiting to some how pluck up the courage to go to the Dr's as I have had the Dr out on a home visit and she gave me beta blockers as I suffer from diarrhea every day well I say every day I do get the odd occassion constipation which can cause pain.. I can not go out on my own and I can't take/collect my children through being scared that I will not make it to the toilet, I have to know where every toilet is along any journey I take, my Dr gave me immoduim (different name) and when I take this it does help alot but I still panic to the point I need to get to the toilet asap! Sounds ridiculous I know my partner thinks that I can do everything i.e walk to the postbox which is 2 mins from our front door, but the truth is my mind is already telling me I can't! I panic because I'm scared I will not make it to the loo, my partner say's "so what if you don't make it no one knows you" If only it was that easy I can't and don't use public transport and I stay in unless my partner is with me...! I have been like this for 4yrs nearly and can not see away through this I would love to know what you guys think or how you cope if you have IBS.... Sorry this is along post.... Thanks in advance.. Kate
