Oh crap, this is depressing! 3 months for a measly 40%?
Interesting they say to continue the Nitro...

Easy now. If you can heal a fissure, you can keep it healed. Just take the needed precautions.
Personally, Im never going to bring my iPad to the toilet ever again :)

How are you doing today JHH? I'm going to use a bit of Nitro today as during the BM it seemed to be tighter yesterday and even more so today. Not in any pain but I do feel it promotes healing so worth doing.

Doing alright thank you :D
Today is day 22 on nitro.
Just came back from a little walk. Had a painfree BM this morning, although I could feel the fissure. Still avoiding the plug for more than a week now, so it seems the yoghurt is working.
Today is much like yesterday. About an hour after BM, it burns, and prickles. But pain is only 2-3 on a scale to 10. This goes on for a some hours, and then settles down.
Im starting to have moments in the afternoon when I forget all about this crap, and I really feel optimistic about the healing now. Definitly on the right path!
I absolutly think you should continue nitro. Stay at it for at least 8 weeks if it doesn't give you any sideeffects. Better safe than sorry

Btw, what do you do for a living, and do you have kids?

I am 33 years old, no kids at home, and have been a web developer since the dawn of the Internet. I'm able to work from the comfort of my own home thank goodness. Throughout all of this work has been unaffected. If anything I've got more done because I've not been able to socialise, exercise, etc, so become so bored I just work, work, work!

Im 41. Lots of kids at home. Im also a developer, have been working with various 4g languages, but now developing i java to android.
When pain was at its worst I couldnt even work. Just lying on my side holding my buttcheeks apart would give a little relieve.

I read a comment from one woman who managed to get relief lying on a birthing ball on her belly, and she could still type on her laptop.. lol.
I did have to take timeout between 11am and 1pm when the pain was at its worst, but managed to work before and after this pain time slot

Hehe, whatever that works, right :)
Im impressed by the fact you managed to work all day except 2 hours! I tried to work on my laptop lying on my side, but could only do so for 15 minutes at the time. Its a terrible position, and my body would cramp up.
Now Im switching back and forth from standing and sitting. That seems to work OK, although I really need to be carefull. Sitting too long will cause some irritation and burning.
Would you happen to know how to make webservices in java? I have a client that needs an app, which communicates with a webserver. Im not sure which CMS to choose for this. Do you know if umbraco or magento supports java webservices as add on's?
Hope its OK to ask :)

I'll PM you as its not about rear ends, as it's probably not acceptable to deviate from bottoms in this way. Although, dare I say it, but I am quite anal about my code... hehe :)
