what are you using to treat your hemmies

Butchers Broom is a supplement you can look into, it helps with internal hemmies and varicose viens in the lower half of the body. There is another supplement I can't remember currently, If you start to research Butchers Broom I'm sure you will run across the other one I can't remember. Other than that use Witch Hazel on cotton swabs and suppostories. I had a big flare last fall so bad it hurt to stand up or sit in certain positions, even walking normal was an issue some times.

I'm not sure how affective the supplements actually were because I was loading up on all of the other typical relief remedies at the same time. But eventually the swelling went down it took about 3 weeks though of continously doing everything I could. I think I went through at least a box of suppositories a week and two big bottles of witch hazel - but only half a bottle of the supplements, so maybe it was the heavy use of the typical stuff or a small amount of supplements that ended up working. Either way I like to use the biggest arsenol I can get when going into battling anything UC.

I hear taking a bath in Epson salts help a lot, I tried it a couple times and didn't feel any relief myself for the internal ones, but it might be worth a shot as well.

till your butt cheeks look like giant (well, for some anyway) white prunes ;-)

Sitz baths and cotton balls soaked in witch hazel. When it got really bad, I'd use OTC hemmie cream. Smells terrible but gives you temporary pain relief.

Badgut-Was it Rutin?

No it was Horse Chestnut and the other was Butchers Broom as I stated.

Sitz Baths didn't do a thing for my internal hemmies, I only tried it like 3 times though. Everytime I noticed no difference expect the normal pain of trying to stand up because of said hemmies. I think the witch hazel was the best thing in the arsenol when I was suffering myself. But everything is worth a try when you are at the end of your rope.

Hey Lemon, how are you otherwise?

I was wondering about the stones. Well I do hope you turn a corner soon! It's so frustrating so read about and feel all these up's and down's. If it's not one thing, it's another.

As for me well - I'm not sure. I seem to be free of all symptoms now and in full on remission. Sooooo.... I go to my GI this Wed so I'll see what he makes of it. First time in 12 years that I have had zero symptoms and now once a day normal poop. Crazy. I just get a little worried to push things for fear of it returning.

I recall trying Spirulina once a long time ago, but can't recall if it helped any.
