Tanya,
Oh great news about the referral. The best doctors always have the long wait times.
I had another thought about AFs flaring around period time. Do you find your anxiety/stress level higher during your period? Just wondering if increased tension is also contributing.
I'm still trying to find a diet/supplement combination that works with my excessively sensitive GI tract. In order to do enough to get that first morning visit to the bathroom soft enough, it leaves me having to spend the better part of the day in the bathroom, going repeatedly, with lots of cramping and increasingly looser stools, and fissure wear and tear becomes a big problem.
But, the good news is I'm still getting the best pain relief to date from the Bee Magic cream... LOVE that stuff.
