So here's my quick, fun, gist of a story regarding my AF.
On April 6th I delivered my son. Bam, my first ever AF. After weeks of trying to treat it with nitroglycerin and then anusol, I was still crying from pain and having to care for a newborn and it has just been three months of a nightmare, as you all know and understand.
Anyway, in the beginning of July, my doctor finally said we'd done enough creams to know that it was time to try Botox. I scheduled an appointment that isn't until the 31st.
Here's where I need opinions, fellow AF sufferers. As of last week, suddenly, for no apparent reason, my symptoms got better tenfold. It still hurts during a bowel movement. That pain has not stopped, though I don't scream or shake like I had ~8 weeks ago. But there's been no burning following a BM, only the occasional spasm if at all, and I'm not constantly thinking about it (though my life is still - and I think always will be - consumed by how to care for this problem via diet etc). So... Do I go through with Botox? It's obviously not HEALED but I'm also on the fence of canceling the Botox because, if it is suddenly attempting to heal naturally (I stopped all creams a couple weeks ago as the side effects were not worth it, and the dr approved stopping) I'd prefer to go that route.
What are your opinions? Any thoughts? Thanks everyone!
