Like others here, I just want to get on with my life before it's over,
please Gawd!!!
So, having been lied to and messed up royally by a gastro & a surgeon
(doing a fundoplication), I have since developed hemorrhoid and
fissure problems. I asked my pharmacist husband about Diltiazem
(found on net.), and he got my gastro to write a script, and I
recovered without surgery. Mostly. Fasting is my other salvation,
although it takes me a few days of utter pain before I'm willing to do
it. Every time I use a fast to give my system a rest, I heal, I don't
have the pain, and I can slowly add food back and have a life!
I am very impressed with all of you who have so many ideas and,
hopefully, permanent solutions.
Also I'm trying to eat yogurt (not very happily) daily which I hope
helps as well. I would love to get off the Nexium (80 mg.), if
possible. BTW, trying acupunture & hypnosis to relax the spincter,
unsuccessfully so far. I'll keep you posted on that...
So, for those suffering pain that just defies description, I want you
to know things that worked for me.
Also, sorry to be so long, re nitroglycerin, my husband (pharmacist)
thinks that is too dangerous...what can I say? BTW, thanks for the
book references on fasting, shall look at them!
Be well, and day at a time!
