Who thinks that gastro-intestinal troubles can result from just plain anxiety about living?

@SW-User what about when things become chronic, and do you think other types of GI problems are likewise associated with chronic anxiety maybe, dont wanna get toooo graphic.

@Platoscave I'm not a doctor so can only speak from personal experience, but for me at least, anxiety plays a very significant part in my digestive stability. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease 15 years ago and i have experienced an obvious link between the symptoms and significant anxiety. I have also learned how to keep those symptoms under control... for the most part.

@SW-User I don't know what it is with me since I can't get a diagnosis, although I have tried to get one and have been through some tests.

@Platoscave That's no good. I initially was told by regular doctors that i just had a stomach bug... that went on for weeks. Then it wasn't until i insisted on seeing a specialist that i got an actual diagnosis. Hopefully you can get one too.

@SW-User Its very hard to get adequate care for anything now...when all you have is the poor-geezer cards.

@Platoscave Yes too true. I no longer have private health insurance in my country. The medical care is still amazing on the free system, but it takes a bit of pushing sometimes to get through it.

@SW-User a bit too much $$$$ too.

Well I missed that "free" system" phrase of yours!

and you didn't notice so I guess there's just too much loophole in your free system and people end up in line for the out of pocket care anyway, right?

Here that's all there is and everyone knows the insurance system just screws up things more. Single payer is coming soon though.
