Wishing you all the best with your Botox results, ownmybum!
This morning I had a tiny setback--minuscule amount of blood after a couple days unusual irritation, but I feel optimistic moving forward.
The precursors were these: accidentally losing my water bottle on Wednesday which I think led me to drink less water than usual at the end of this week. Overeating on Friday night (even though it was vegetarian). Binging on Pringles yesterday at the beach when someone else picked out the snacks for the trip (too many Pringles was maybe the worst mistake). Opting for a salad with chicken (meat is often a problem for me) rather than go the extra couple hundred yards down the Boardwalk for a veggie wrap. Not drinking enough water throughout the day since I was distracted by the beach trip. Not using any Nifedipine while at the beach and for a couple days before that.
On the plus side the trend is quite good--6 incidents of bleeding in April, 4 in May, and only this tiny one on the last day of June.
Moving forward, at least I know what do. Plenty of water, Nifedpine as needed, no more fiberless junk food, and eating small portions every time!
Hoping to make July and this summer one big fissure free festival.
Also thought it was worth mentioning I went a total of 42 days with no blood, which I think may have been the best streak of no blood in almost four years when I began having fairly chronic anal fissure/hemorrhoid issues.
