Thanks for the kind words. Today is Day 5, after the fissurectomy and botox. Yesterday was a good day and I probably did too much. Today I am just a little sore and very run down feeling. The pain level is still very low, much better than the fissure pain on a good day. I'm on a massive amount of laxitives and stool softners and natural stool softners/fruit and yet my stools are still not completely soft. BM's are slightly painful, but a sitz bath helps. Does anyone know if you can damage yourself by using so much laxitive garbage? My doctor told me to add more laxitive to my routine, but I'm hesitant. Here's what I'm on so far: Miralax 17 grams 2 X a day, stool softners 2 @ 2 times a day, Milk of Magnesia 2 tbl spoons 1 time a day, and eight boiled prunes every night. I feel so sick to my stomach from all of this that I'm really not eating a lot, but I am drinking water all day long. Does anyone have a suggestion that might help and be more natural?
