Hi all, I'm new here.
I've been reading through some of the posts and I'd first like to congratulate you all on staying so strong throughout everything you're going through. Some of these stories have had me in tears. You all deserves medals.
I'm really looking for a bit of encouragement, I've been suffering with an anal fissure for 3 weeks now and I'm struggling to stay positive. I have pain and blood, first diagnosed with a heammaroid but later found out it was actually an AF.
I have been under a lot of stress lately, mainly due to ongoing struggle with a slipped disc in my back, I also got shingles last month so my health hasn't been great!! I don't generally get constipated and I'm quite regular but the doctor has given me laxatives to ensure nothing hard comes out of there!
Everytime I feel I am making progress I end up feeling dissapointed when I spot blood again. And it's hard trying not to pay attention to the 1-2 weeks standard healing time most websites claim.
Can anyone give me some positive vibes or success stories to help me feel stronger?
Thanks :)
