Thanx for sharing the good news :D . I sure hope shaving does prove to be successful in offering you relief from the discomfort...and yeah, who'd of thunk it? But, I have to be honest and say it sounds scary as all hell
to be putting a razor anywhere close to that area...so please be oh soooo careful when doing this.
I have no knowledge of any correlation between spasms and dizziness. But, you should know me enough by now to understand that my instinct says stress could be the l'il devil lurking behind that symptom as well. Sorry, I can't be of more help with this issue, but dizziness is a symptom I haven 't experienced
.
I can tell you what helped me 100%, just in the last 4 days, with my bm's...the brown rice tip I got from Bill Ultra and many others around the tips page. For reasons I couldn't figure out, since I had made no changes to my dietary/supplement regimen, my stools were just coming out real soft...too soft for comfort...so I added a 1/2 cup of brown rice with olive oil to my dinner. My bm's went right back to the"toothpaste" consistency we desire. If you haven't tried the brown rice yet, I hope you'll give it a shot...it was a quick fix for me, and one that I plan to continue

As for me, still no changes with how I feel. I'd say 70% of the time I feel ok. Ok meaning I know my fissures there, like just a feeling I have, but I'm able to go about most any task just fine. Then there's the 30% of the time that I'm in discomfort. Discomfort meaning a tightness in the anal area, I'm assuming a spasm, but no other symptoms come along with that. It is simply a very tight clenching going on. When this occurs, I can still manage through whatever I need to do, but if I take 3 advil the discomfort subsides immensely. I try to only take the ibuprofen if I need to go out of the house though. When I'm home, I get through without it, because I kinda like to be in control of the discomfort. This way I can guage the discomfort...I want to know what level it gets to...you know what I mean? I'm still waiting for this thing to take a turn for the better or worse, so that's why I do the best I can to avoid any pain relievers...I want to be aware if the pain escolates beyond where it has been up until now. So, I'm still stuck in the same place...thankfully in a whole lot better place than I was with my first fissure, before surgery. But, I sure wish I'd get a break and have the miracle of healing grace me and allow me to avoid the 2nd surgery. I do feel discouraged, as I have passed the 8 week mark since my diagnosis of the new fissure, so this one has now become chronic and my chances of it healing on its own, I guess, have diminished. I don't know what's up with my body and its resistance to healing these things...especially since I've had a surgery already. It is frustrating, but I consider a 2nd surgery my "ace in the hole" and at least I know that options out there for me again, if this thing gets worse, or I've just gotten fed up with waiting for a change

I hope you experienced more comfort today Emm...and may tomorrow be even better!!!
Keeping you in my thoughts,
Angel
