This is really a question. I was wondering if there were any studies done on a connection of combat veterans and gastrointestinal issues. It seems that those gastrointestinal issues are either aggravated or maybe caused by stress.

You’re welcome Peyton. You’re absolutely right. Money isn’t everything. We can always find a way to trim down expenses when we need to. Your baby will remember having a happy mother. Let’s face it, you can never get those years back again and they are just too darn precious to not enjoy to the max. And you can never take too many pictures. :)

When staff talk about their work giving them an ulcer they are serious and bosses ignore that. Workplaces should give as much training on stress reduction techniques as any other program designed to improve productivity in the workplace. A stressed worker is an inefficient worker and it’s not their fault.

Thanks so much for your support Lacey! I am very fortunate to be able to leave that part of my life behind me. Financially it has been a challenge but my husband and I know what our priorities are and have decided that all of the stress and illness just was not worth it. I know that I would never be able to live up to my potential as a good wife and mom with all of those sickness issues hanging over my head so this has just been the best move for me ever.

quit the job if u cant get through a day in it. Most ppl dont chuck garbage where it belongs. Having to wait for a good opportunity doesnt mean u need to persist on a bad road.

I was dating a colleague at work and my team leader was making life hell for me. The pressure was so much that I developed IBS, irregular periods and was frequently catching colds. I could not keep a social life at all. I quit my job there, took a mini break and started something on my own. It was only after the break that my health slowly looked up and today I am good!!

Good for you Peyton for making the right choice. There’s life, where you just exist and there’s having a quality life, where you live it. Money concerns hold me back from making a similar decision but I dearly wish I could! Enjoy your baby and your better health. They don’t stay small for nearly long enough. :)

Hey, I totally get that. The end of the financial year is my nightmare time. My boss morphs into this crazy person. I can be physically sick with nerves before I go to work, when I arrive at work, and when I get home from work. No kidding! That’s how much he stresses me out with his worrying about the numbers. The rest of the year he’s a pussycat.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have stomach upsets because of stress. They were at their worst whenever I had a tough meeting or presentation ahead and could start a good 48 hours before. My stomach would be churning and in knots. I would absolutely link mental strain and stomach issues.

Before I had my daughter I worked in a very high stress atmosphere and let me tell you I was forever experiencing stomach pain and issues. And guess what? Once I went on maternity leave and was away from the situation, all of those stomach pains have disappeared. Yes I got paid well but have decided that it was not worth the constant stress and headaches, so I am now simply enjoying my time at home with my baby and will probably never go back to a job commitment like the one I have left behind.

Such screening would be very helpful in quick diagnose and treating a disorder in its early stages, thereby boosting the chances of a full recovery and also in a much quicker time…

When there are problems, they come in a package, in full force… this is illustrated here with a lot of issues having common times of taking place…
