She gushed...Unfortunately, at times, she also gushes.

The end of summer consisted of some heavy dating. To be honest, its rather daunting for an IBS sufferer to consider dating again. Think about it: its an unknown dinner (yikes), with a new person that has never even heard of IBS (boo!), and the possibility of a two hour movie attached (kill me now). Dinner comes with the annoyance of having to explain all the things I cannot eat and why, no matter how much you insist it tastes amazing and that you are spending a pretty penny on me, I will not be eating the Kobe beef thankyouverymuch. Then comes the landmine of transportation. As a veteran IBSer, I like to be in control of my own destiny -- in case the need to run home becomes an issue. But men seem to take it personally when I insist on meeting them at the desired location. In a big city, isn't that just savvy dating?

Tripp'n...

I'm in San Francisco Union Square. I've had two attacks in two days. I'm fearful of taxis and every meal that I must consume. Its not the way I want to live my life. Hiding from furthering my career and shying away from every dinner encounter.
