Hello again!
Well, the good news is the week before my scheduled surgery (surgery was scheduled for last week), I seemed to finally heal through using diltiazem, cutting down on my fiber supplement (I was "blowing out" my system) and cutting out cheese. I was so happy, I had 2 pain/bleeding free weeks! It was amazing! My surgeon cancelled surgery and I was so happy.
Then this past weekend, I tried to get all my fiber but was on a trip for Easter and couldn't take baths and ate lots of binding food I had stayed away from over the last few weeks. Sure enough, Monday morning my BM was too large and my fissure is now back. It was SO disheartening!!!
I can't even explain how bummed I am now.
So I’m back to having the fissure but I have hope I can self-heal again. I will consider surgery again but probably not right now since I had healed before, plus i'm trying to get prgnant. I am going back on the diltiazem (until I am pregnant- it is a class C drug so when I am pregnant I will stop it) and will continue with my good eating and 2 baths a day.
Just wanted to update all the people who have been so supportive to me over the last few weeks. Thank you!!! I'll still be on here- thought my problem was solved but it is back.
