RaeDreams's Journal

Well, it's morning here and here I sit, journalling about my anus, again.  Something is wrong with this picture.  A little opening in the bottom of my body has taken on a life of its own, with the horrendous pain a regular feature in my life.  I've tried so many things, the Preparation H, the creams and gels, the stool softner (does work somewhat), and the Phillips Colon Health (which made my stomach cramp and my poo feel like gravel).  I ate yogurt, which seemed to make the situation worse.  Then, I found out Prep H interacts with my Effexor, so I've had to stop using the suppositories.   As I sit here, the devils are burning.  I've complained so much to my family about my pain that they just roll their eyes now when I bring it up.  So, I walk around in my own private hell, well, until now that is.  I can at least vent here and read the posts by others living this way, too. I do find some comfort in that.  I'm grateful to have found this support group.
