First off I would like to say a huge thank you to you all. I hate to say it but it helps to know that others have faced this also.

Pea: big hugs to you, sorry to hear you are in hospital. Truly hope you feel better soon.

Possi: yes You have been through the same,probably a lot worse. Thanks for the support.

Greg: I did hand out an info sheet to the family when I was first diagnosed and in a bad flare but some still choose to not believe it.

Stormy: Thanks for the advice on my daughter. I must admit it is hard to explain the benefits of the meds to her when I have reacted so much to so many of them but I will try and be strong for her.

Thank you again to everyone. What makes it harder for me is I can't just aviod this aunt. My mother and her own a shop together where I sell my plants out of and my daughter also works for them. We really are a close family. I actually get along really well with this aunt and I think that is why it hurts so much.

I am thinking maybe she is a little jealous of me also so this may be some of the reason. I have clinical diagnosis of IBS not quite IDB from colonoscopy. And I still go out to eat even though it means I will run to the loo after the meal. I don't let it control me in other words. Her colonoscopy came back completely clear but she has IBS and won't go out to eat she won't go to lots of places because of it and she won't even run the shop on her own for even 1 hour because she might need to go to the toilet. Each to their own I say but don't think that my problems are any less because I refuse to let them control my life, as much as possible anyway.

On a high tonight after seeing my 2 eldest children in their school production. Both have had so many health issue but you would never have known watching them on stage tonight. So very proud of them, their acting was amazing.

Take care all and thanks one more time.
