Fissure? Hemmie?

Yes, rectal anal preparations of hydrocortisone cream or procotcedyl a few times a day.

Increase your fibre at this time...I would suggest metamucil capsules...I have absolutely no problem with them.

If you have rectal meds, use them...I learned my lesson this week by ignoring the fissureS I now have rather than just one. After the fissures came the external hemmieS...I started to flare ever so mildly, but the issue was obvious.

It started two days ago, today is amazingly "normal". Basically, yesterday was hell.

I've done the Salofalk (Rowasa) for 3 nights, added proctocedyl suppositories and externally used hydrocortisone cream and proctocedyl ointment.

I'll never do this again...I hope I can get the fissures healed, my blue anus normal and tapered quickly to twice a week enemas so that I can bring in the new year without flaring as usual.

Heed your butt....deal with it quickly and have only one fissure instead of two or three.

I think with UC, the expectations of what we assume is right can bite us in the arse at any time depending on what else is going on.

This bout of external hemmies and fissures has taken me aback....I'm majorly ticked, but learned my lesson to be persistent in treating them.

I'm actually sick of having my focus on my butt..

I've taken this week off, so hopefully I'll get things back to normal somewhat.
