Diltiazem... hmm!!!!!
I've been using it now 8 days and I've seen a considerable improvement. I only get a very small pinch of pain on BM if anything with no spasms or residual burning after. I'm still using sitz baths etc but I'm determined once again not to count my chickens before they hatch.
This however is promising and it's so nice not to have the headaches after application like I had with the GTN. Makes compliance much easier, I've been using it twice daily; once in the morning and once in the evening. Luckily I've not had any rash yet that most people complain of after using it for a while.
Will keep you all posted!
