LOL...Now that is sweet , bless your little girl !

Corsica,
You tried Botox and it didn't help?
Also, I remember where one little girl staying at a motel got her insides sucked out of her while in the whirlpool, and I think the little girl died. So, strange things can happen.

Sorry, sent it twice...

Yes I had Botox 3 weeks ago, I don't think it has helped much. It feels like the pain has changed a bit, but I really don't feel much looser down there - and I should by now??. It feels too tight. I have an appoinment next week with the CRS, and and I guess the next step will be LIS. I cannot live like this, this is just survival....cannot work or do anything "normal".
I am back to eating as little as possible now, hoping it will help..what goes in must go out
and am so grateful Lars told me about this.
for talking to me about my buttproblem. Maybe my husband will send you all flowers now since he doesn't have to listen me anymore :krusty:
Corsica ("Korsika" in Norwegian)

When I first had my AF, I lost 20 pounds because I was so afraid to eat. I still have to eat pretty bland stuff as anything savory burns coming out. I have been able to put on 10 pounds though, probably by eating frozen yogurt. Do you take vitamins or any supplements at all? Do you think you get enough protein? All of that is important for healing.

I love your name. It is very pretty.

Corsica,
We are happy that you found us also! I know what you mean about hubands--they all tire of hearing about our butt issues. Is Lars your friend??? How old are you? I started eating smaller amounts and lost a lot of weight while doing that, so be careful. Have you tried any of the ointments??? I guess I will have to buy a book about Norway to learn about your culture. Is Henrik Ibsen a famous author/person from your country? I read a couple of his books while in college.

I eat some proteins, but not a lot. I eat one boiled egg each day, and some kidneybeans. Have eaten some shrimps as well...I try to eat things that is easy to digest. No red meat.
I take one multivitamine everyday...
3 months ago my doctor told me that I had to take iron tablets because my blood (percent)was low. (Hope you understand what I mean, haven't got words to descride it correctly). But because I get constipated by these tablets I haven't taken them. Feel kind of dizzy, have to visit my GP and hear what she suggests.
I don't know Lars, we "met" on a furum discussing anal fissures. Haven't heard from him for a while, hope he is OK. I will send him a mail...
I have only used nitro, but I have used a lot of it.
I am 40 something.
Henrik Ibsen is world famous. His play "A Doll's House" is beautiful, and just as important and relevant as when he wrote it. Nora, the main character, is a very strong woman. It actually was too controversial back then, and they had to rewrite the end when they played it in Germany.

Corsica,
Is there another AF support group besides this one??? I also read Hedd Gabler which I think is an Ibsen book or play. Have you had constipation issues for a long while? Is that what started your fissure prob??

I understand your need for privacy, Corsi. I went by a false name here for a long time, but someone here managed to bring me out of the closet, so to speak, anyway, and it's been Katy-bar-the-door ever since!
I love Ibsen's plays! Read a couple in college and thought they were excelllent!

Cherylk: No it is not a support group, it more like a online doctor site where you can ask GPs, etc. Not the same at all.
Hedda Gabler is written by Henrik Ibsen..we are seing another play by Ibsen in the theatre soon, it is called "Brand"
I have not had constipation for about 15 years, what caused it for me was my disease and the fact that I have had problems in the "bathroomdepartment" for years. I didn't see the warning signs, and/or I didn't take them seriously...
Stupid me!
Kim: It is difficult, because I would like to be more open, but what we discuss her can be misused. And you know people could find us searching for "Henrik Ibsen" for example....
