Since Urgent Care referred you to a pcp does this mean you do not currently have one? That's a long wait to see one, just my thinking.
How many times a day are you going? I don't think psyllium will stop the bleeding. Depending on how bad of shape you are in, you may want to consider a trip to ER. Given how long this has been going on they can give you a script for prednisone. Prednisone is always a last resort, but it all depends on you.
Good luck.
I hate saying “it’s not that bad” because I don’t want to normalize this for myself, I don’t want to expect more suffering to come, I want to move heaven and earth to go back to normal. But, outside my daily trip to the restroom, or every other day trip, I can step out the restroom door and go back to my normal life. I strain a lot, hard balls come out covered in blood and mucus, sometimes the mucus is just dripping from me (sorry tmi), the tp looks like it’s had its heart stabbed, and so far my trips to the bathroom for just mucus alone have ceased, I don’t know why. I’m definitely not going to go on prednisone just for this, my only option now is to wait and do damage control…

I was taking 2g of qing dai a day for a month and ended up with acute hepatitis. That stuff gives me headaches even at 1/8 of a teaspoon inserted rectally… I’m glad it’s working for u tho by your descript
