bowels again and health anxiety
« on: January 12, 2016, 06:45:44 PM »
Just to add that I have been suffering from terrible health anxiety lately, has been the worst one yet lasting for weeks. Totally focusing on the bowels making it worse I know, loss of appetite, trembling the whole shebang
Today I took two diazepam to give myself a rest and it helped
Is this all to do with the meno? really? it sucks

I found that Actimel helped my bowels become regular ……. 2/3 pots a day every day.
I certainly get a slow transit when I don't swallow the stuff  ;)

Did the Valium help?

what dose are you taking - my GP gave me 5mg to take as necessary.  I used to take it the evening before an event that I had to attend.

What's wrong with the bowel?
