Wow, what a find to discover this website, I really didn't know it was so common (unfortuantely). I feel almost guilty saying I have only really been suffering for 2 months now. It all started after a lovely holiday to visit relatives overseas who, unfortunately, do not seem to eat veggies or fruit. After 12 days with white bread, white french fries etc... well, you can imagine. Not the wonderful ending to a long awaited trip. Finally went to a walk-in clinic after a month (because I knew the doctor would not check me) and asked for Proctoseydl as I had had that 15 years ago after having a baby. Tried that for a week, but really didn't think cortisone was what a person should use, THINNING the skin, hmmm, no, I want it healed. Over the counter stuff gives minor relief. Finally went to my GP, yes, he did check me, OWWWWW! He said to just use Anusol and if it didn't work in 2 weeks, then to go back and he would think about Nitro cream. Well, have my appointment with him tomorrow. Am worried about headaches etc that I have read about here, but want to clear this thing up before the summer ends. He said if that doesn't work there is minor surgery but didn't elaborate. So, to try the nitro or not. Am even considering the wheatgrass stuff etc. Have increased the fibre, water etc. but that was never a problem. It seems any little BM will rip you apart again, so short of not eating..... Any suggestions? Thanks
