My doctor hasn't been totally helpful in the past 9 months of my fissure, so I'm left with a lot of questions.
After the first 3 months of unbelievable pain, my fissure seemed to be healing (only because of Miralax!), I had booked an appointment with a CRS since they book a year in advance, just in case things went south for me. After months of no pain/ no blood/ no worries, I became pregnant, and tried to wean off Miralax, only to find out that NO, I'm not healed, I have to continue to rely heavily on Miralax.
Now with pregnancy, trying to keep the same fissure-friendly eating habits is not possible.
My doctor advised me that Miralax is completely safe (which I have my reservations, but no other option) and he also advised me to reschedule my CRS appointment to 2 months post-partum as they can't examine me until everything returns to normal after pregnancy.
I'm quite convinced that I need surgery, but why is it that a CRS won't even see me while I'm pregnant? Has anyone else been in this situation?
This leaves me totally depressed, struggling with fissure pain on and off, and food problems for another 7 months, relying totally on 3 doses of Miralax/day.......
AH- this never-ending saga is driving me crazy.
