Evening All
New to the forum etc.
I've put up with my AF for about a year now. I was recently put on Rectogesic. Tried it for three weeks: the bleeding stopped, but the bowel movements aren't pleasant, and neither is sitting for long periods.
I persuaded my GP to prescribe something else (costs about Ј200, but don't know the name of it), and I'm trying it for the first time tonight.
So, I take drink Fybrogel twice a day, eat a high fibre diet, and take book to the toilet with me. I've found a good read and gravity helps (although I would recommend a toilet sit that doesn't cut off the blood supply to the legs - just a tip).
Anyway, "hi"!

Hi Marvin,
Welcome!! I'm sure you will find a lot of useful information on here. I sure have... I hope your new ointment works.
I see you are taking fiber. I don't know if you have tried stool softeners? They are very useful with this condition. I don't think I could bare it without them. The fiber isn't always enough for some people.
