IBSAM (not what u think)

Ok first,let me explain,cause this can be a serious problem,and I am not making fun of it,I have had it,and that is what lead me here.First,what it stands for=Irritated Bowel Syndrome Awareness Month.And like I said I had it so that explains why I got an e-mail with that in the subject line.Well when I first saw IBSAM,I had no clue what it stood for until opening the e-mail,but then after reading it (you know me)I had to put those letters to my own deffinition(knew that was comin didn`t ya)but thats not the funny part.The funny part was,I wanted to make sure that sam still stood for what I thought so I did a google search on the word sam and this is what I found.
OK first my def=Im passing a Ballistic Suface to Air Missle
Google search 1st page def on sam
Sequence,Alignment,&Modeling(ok skip the modeling part,aint happenin)
2cnd pg=Sustainable Asset Management
Well,half my problem was sequence alignment and if that isnt Sustainable Asset Managment I dont know what is.
And last but not least SAM the exploding dog!Man I am still laughing,I can find humor in the wierdest places!

On a serious note,alot of guys dont know that simply going from briefs to boxers can help,or how serious this could be.Simply put,If they hurt,go see a doc,I did and just by simply changing my diet and switching to boxers I now fell alot better.Instant oatmeal every morning helps too.But man I`m not kidding,SEE A DOC,I went two years in pain for something so simple!We now return you to the best site there is.

I don't even know how to respond or where to start on this one, without getting into trouble with Ken or the FCC!

Well,I hope I dont get in trouble or offend anybody,I just thought it was funny how,when doing some research on one thing,how it could relate to something else.

I have IBS & it isn't any fun.

The muscles in the bowel spasm causing irregular BM's & the owner of one to re-think their diet.

Think Rabbit prizes.

You are right IBS is no fun,and I for one will be glad when the whole world recognizes that this is not some fabricated excuse.I have been called into the service managers office and gotten read the riot act because my hours on a certain day were down.When you try and explain why,they think it is a big joke,and have had some pretty cruel insults in the days following.If they only knew the pain involved,maybe then they would view it differently.I would not wish this on my worst enemy(although said service mgr did come close)!

I've got it also. When it first started, I was in and out of the doc's office and the er at 3 different hospitals. I was diagnosed w/ everything from kidney stones to an ulser to Krohns. On my second ambulance ride in the same day, I had the emts take me to the hospital my wife works at(NOT on my health care plan).
W/i 36 hrs, I was diagnosed. Now, I just watch what I eat and take my pills w/ me everywhere I go. I am a supervisor so days when I'm visiting the bathroom alot, its not really noticed on the floor so I don't really have to worry about the mean spirited remarks.
