Thanks Rachel. I've had a pretty good day today, actually. I guess that's the way of botox- tiny steps forward and then a few backwards, but hopefully the good days will start outnumbering the bad soon. Only niggling pain/discomfort all day, which i can handle, until tonight when i had some weird shooting bum pains. Have never had them before, but hoping its a sign of healing.
I'm at a loss with food, so have looked up the soluble vs insoluble fibre, thank you. I think it might be the Metamucil doing me in, but am scared to change it in case I get backed up. Is benefiber better, does anyone know?
I've been doing oats for breakfast, usually soaked overnight in water and greek yoghurt and eaten cold with berries, or in a smoothie with coconut oil and green powder. I might switch to flaxseed and see if that's better.
I had my hems treated with the HAL RAR procedure only a few months ago, and the CRS said there was no sign of the, the day he did the fissurectomy/ botox. But the externals have certainly flared up.
Back to work again tomorrow aft a fairly relaxing weekend. I have a five year old and a baby, so have had quite a bit of time off work for the baby and just headed back recently. I think the stress if it all is contributing too, so trying to find a meditation download I can do to relax. Anyone tried one?
