Interesting article: IBS and Fibro link

[ErinENj]

I just found this article on WebMd that you all might find interesting. It's about a proposed link between irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other pain disorders. I didn't get the chance to read the whole thing, but it seemed interesting, and I didn't want to lose the link. Take a look and let me know what you all think...

for posting this article. I was also told by my urologist and my RA that IBS was secondary to my FMS.
When I look back over my life though I think I may have had IBS before I came down with everything else.:rolleyes: Time is my enemy so I can't be 100% sure as my memory isn't what it used to be.:p
Either way I think the diseases are connected so I suppose it doesn't really matter which one decided to start first.:eek:
I know Crytears deals with IBS all of the time.....maybe she will chime in on this and give her thoughts. Have a great day!!
