OK , today - a little clinical talk, sort of TMI - but I know SO many people who have dealt with hemorrhoids - they suffer in silence, because you just don't TALK about that!
I mentioned it once right after surgery and you'd be srprised how mny peopel have advice and empathy- who knew?
OK - I have a Good bit of advice!! This has plagued me since the first surgery - NINE MONTHS ago this Sunday! They just never completely heal, and then the raging itch and screaming burn keep me awake - it just irritates over and over... I've tried Prep H and Butt Paste - they helped pretty well early on - but you want to watch the OTC some times - they can just stop working.
I did some serious research on natural stuff. And a stop at the Natural Foods Co-op found me something that is, so far, the most effective yet - I sleep. I don't itch and burn. And if it starts to, I just apply a little more.
Calendula Gel. It is wonderful. Get some. Apply it whenever you need it. It helps and cools - REALLY! Other products that claim relief either DON'T, or they sting! It's a bit like hell.
I also got a homeopathic Hemorrhoid tablet which I'm taking as well.
What I do know that my poor bum is finally the closest to normal it's been in all that long time, after only two days using them.
