Hi, my name is Jared and I live in New Mexico. This forum helped me while I wrestled terribly with my fissure for 5 months. I use to look at success stories and dream of the day which I could post mine. I just posted my success story in the appropriate place on this site.
I empathize with all of you going through such pain. I know that it is debilitating, depressing, and so on. Getting your life back seems like it will never happen, while going through. The only ones that can truly understand are those who go through it, so I'm just sending out today positive thoughts, prayers, energy, in your quest to get past this miserable chapter in your life. I can say that my miserable chapter was approx 5 months long, and I have turned it into a great positive. I also, have to maintain certain eating habits, but I am able to eat the 'fun-stuff' too, as well.
much love,
Jared
