Hi,
I've been stopping in and reading for the past few months and just enjoyed seeing some words of encouragement on the website-so thank you.
I'm 22 years old, and struggled intensely for 3 months. My life was not going so well. I finally found a way to stop the spasms after BM's back in march. From there, it was only a matter of time until the bleeding stopped. I've had to use magnesium very generously because I do not trust in my ability to maintain the strictest of diets.
Well, I've been spams free for about two months. The only problems I've been having are light, light pink blood (so in other words, not fresh bright red blood) occurring after the use of TP and not baby wipes. Furthermore, this past weekend I took less magnesium than I have in months, and while it hasn't been "hard", apparently it wasn't soft enough. Initially I had an intense itch and no blood on the stool or anything. No pain either, as I was still out of baby wipes, I used TP. that light pink blood (this occurs in very small amounts) happened. Same thing happened today. It's been about a month and a half or two since my last bright red blood on stool or TP incidient.
Is it just not fully healed yet? I know this isn't strictly because of the minor use of tp because I usually don't use it. And yesterday during my BM I could tell it was a little different than my previous easier ones. How much longer before I can expect this thing to not worry me anymore?
