I suppose it is a "funny" condition to people who have never had fissures, but the horrific pain of spasms and any kind of cut in that area is far from being funny. These "paper cuts" are in an extremely sensitive area and hurt like hell. Not to the point that we think we might die or end up in the emergency room - we just FEEL like we want to die because the pain is so bad.
To be that obsessed with diarrheah, you either have a phobia so great that a support group for ANAL FISSURE SUFFERERS is not going to be able to help you, or your sense of humour is sick beyond belief.
I don't think that gahgah thinks having a fissure is a funny condition, or that he has a humour beyond sick belief Val. He has joined this forum because he has a fissure, and he needs support and advice as we all do. I also think it is harsh questioning if he has a phobia, and telling him that this forum might be the wrong place to be - as some of you have done. We don't know what "mental shape" (new) members on this board are in. If one wants to give an advice about something it could be done in a PM, and not here.
Communicating with only the printed word can be full of misunderstandings and cause a lot of problems, as so much is missed compared to when one speak verbally. Irony, humour, etc. can easily be misunderstood if the reader doesn't understand it. People are different and communicate in different ways, and what is accepted one place may be impolite and disrespectful another place.
The heading on this forum says: "
we'll try to quell your fear".
Well he has a fear of diarrhea. I guess quite a few of us has a fear of BMs, pooping, constipation, etc. bordering on some kind of phobia, obsession, or whatever. Because that is what having a fissure does to us, our lives revolves around bathroom activities. Sad, but true!
Bloody Mary
PS
Some has given gahgah supportive and constructive advice...
Happy, you look good with dark hair!
I offered to send you the cheeseburger :) green and moldy by the time you get it!
