Hemorrhoids For 15 Years - Fybogel, Vaseline And High Fiber - Nothing Works
I have had enough. I have had these for 15 years now, which started after surgery and was pumped full of drugs for pain relief and ended up really constipated, which I am so angry about. Since then I have suffered and does not take much to set them off. I use fybogel and vaseline to aid things which is great but every now and then they flare up. It often happens after a holiday, as is the case this time. It is difficult eating a high fibre diet at friends and whilst I take fybogel with me I can get lazy taking them. This time it is very painful and am in a vicious circle of going through this a few times a year or going to see someone about it. I am dreading them saying I need surgery. I have 2 external (well, certainly one, and one internal but that is not a problem). The GP gave me diosmine the last time I went but need assurance these will clear up. I am going on a walking holiday this week which is going to be hellish as walking irritates them. I am using vaseline, germoloids cream and witch hazel so can do no more. Ibuprofen works well for the pain but says paracetamol is better as ibuprofen can create problems with bleeding?
View 2 RepliesKidney Disease :: Prep For Lithotripsy (Kidney Stones) - Magnesium Citrate
Is it me or is this stuff a waste of time?
I've had obout 20 lithotripsy's in 15 years of having continuous stones. They've never gotten my kidney completely empty of stones ever. I've had lithos, ureterscopy, PCNL. On meds but they can't seem to stop them from growing. I avoid alot of the things that cause stones or limit them. Got to have the 1 cup of coffee in the morning
On the day before litho, your suppose to eat light ( nothing that leaves residue in bowl) but they say you can have white bread or boiled chicken. (Why bother?) I usually only eat jello, gatorade, and just broth. Plus tons of water. The instructions say to drink the magnesium of citrate after dinner. Well to me dinner is after 6/7. But I thought this time I would take earlier since last time didn't start to move the bowels until i was in the hospital. Plus this stuff is awful- taste bad- even refrigeration like they suggest doesn't really help. Twice in past I threw it up.
So I took at 5 pm thinking it would work earlier. Nope. Nothing. Just stomach cramping and it finally started around 5 am after me getting up every hour during night. Still was working again while in hospital.
There has to be something better (tasting) and work faster. Plus less side effects. Or they should change instructions & say take a noon. Next litho (in 2-3 months) I'm taking a 1/2 day off day before and taking at noon. Maybe then can get a little sleep the night before procedure.
Sorry- felt like ranting as frustrated as its been two full days since litho and nothing passing yet. Plus I have a bad back (2 surgeries) which makes it hard to do the exercises where you drink 2 cups water, wait 30 minutes, then elevate kidney @ 45 degrees and stay like that for 30 minutes to try and get the pieces to move.

View 4 RepliesHemorrhoids :: Thrombosed Internal Hemorrhoids Not Responding To Injections
My internal hems. are not responding to a doctor's injections. They (3) are not major, but I wish (almost) they would become thrombus so it/they could be cut out. I had that years ago.
The pain is not so great as to cause bleeding, toilet trouble but the pain is there every day for two months.
Putting on ointments in public toilets all the time to cool the pain. Awful. Inconvenient and interferes with daily life.
Gets worse with stress.
Getting desperate, looking online - Venapro. But online wonder-meds never seem to work so I'm sceptical.

View 11 RepliesAnaesthetic Really Works For Colonoscopy?
I'm having a first colonoscopy soon, and am concerned at the pain aspect, Doctors tell me it is virtually pain free, and I have a history of poor reactions to anaesthetics with previous hospital procedures and Dentists, where they just don't work, anybody else have this problem and how do you overcome it.
I have always told the Doctors who tend to just ignore what I say, I have to assume that any pain relief I get will not work until much later in the day, is this manageable?
Sertraline Works With The Right Dosage
For nearly 3yrs I was on sertraline, at the beginning it was awful. Dizziness, lack of interest, mood swings tired loss of appetite throwing up headaches and so on. I started at 25mg till we found the right dosage for me and that was 150mg. At this stage I was ok no anxiety, no panic attacks no fear no suicidal thoughts none of what I felt before. All of that was gone. I was me again. I felt good. When I started I was 58kg went down to 42kg had to wear kids cloths. Once I found the right dosage and started feeling good again I had everything back including my weight. Last year because I was feeling good I decided to stop it. My Gp told me it was too soon but I heard so much about the tablets I just wanted to stop them.
After a few weeks I realised was to soon and asked my Gp to put me back on them. So I'm back on them and this time I went up very quickly. I started straight at 50mg then 100 then 150 and back to 200 mg. I promise you it's worth going through all this side effects because after you will feel good again. This is my positive story to all of you. I really really hope it works for all of you as it did for me.
Heroin :: Does Thomas Recipe Works?
I'm really scared to try detox again but I'm going to try the Thomas recipe. I just don't know how its going to work as its both me and my husband doing it at the same time. We have been on heroin for over a year now and I swear this stuff is the devil. We at one time were up to 2 grams a day a piece now we are at between a gram to a half a day between both of us. Its time! If not one of us are going to die. I've heard the Thomas recipe is good but its the Valium part. We don't want any Rx drugs at all and Tylenol pm,s don't work for him. Maybe nyquil?

View 15 RepliesHypnosis To Quit Smoking Works?
So my friend has heard about a guy who gave up smoking after single visit to a doctor. He said that he was hypnotized and when he woke up he felt like he can't smoke anymore. I am really puzzled by this. I think its just a rip off. I don't know, it sounds too good and to easy to be true. Could it be?
Has anyone heard of anyone else getting hypnosis to help prevent smoking? Maybe its just a placebo effect, i mean you already know that you should quit smoking after the hypnosis and maybe that's why he felt like he does not want to smoke anymore. That and the fact that he paid for that session.

Erectile Dysfunction :: Cialis Works Well For Me
I am a 57 year old triathlete, having completed 2 Ironman competitions in the last 2 years. One would think the my fitness would help in the bedroom. Not! As I've aged I've noticed my erections getting weaker. Over the last 2 months they were none existent. I would orgasm when my wife would give me manual stimulation and the ejaculate would just ooze out of my flaccid penis. But no "rock hard" erection & certainly no ejaculation. I could not get hard enough to penetrate. Twelve years ago I had severe atrial fibrillation, which even caused 2 flat lining episodes is an ER. I had ablation surgery which corrected the problem. Yet, I feared taking erection causing stimulants because I didn't want to mess with heart rate. After 2 months of no stiffness to speak of, I took my doctor's advice and had filled the prescription for 5mg Cialis, daily dose. I took it yesterday, Christmas Eve, for the first time, about 3 hours before we opened our gifts. I'm not so sure how long one has to take this medicine to show an improvement, but last night, about 5 hours after taking my first pill, I got the best Christmas gift a man can get who's been suffering with ED. The Christmas package was delivered. We were both smiling. I'm sold on Cialis. My heart rate is fine and I have only a very, very slight stuffy nose. I can deal with that.
View 1 RepliesGeneral :: Nausea And Vomiting - Gallbladder Taken Out But Nothing Works
I'm a 19 year old female. In May 2013 I gradually started to become nauseous. It got worse and by June 2013 I was throwing up almost daily. I saw a gastroenterologist who (in November 2013) found celiac disease through an upper endoscopy. I started eating gluten free but the nausea and vomiting continued. Since then, he's done a gastric emptying test, results were normal. I had a HIDA scan of my gallbladder which showed it didn't contract normally. I then had an ultrasound of my gallbladder, which showed tons of stones. Last month, I got my gallbladder taken out. (because my gastroenterologist was sure that was the cause of nausea and vomiting) The first couple days after surgery I felt no nausea, but by the 4th day post surgery, I had the exact same nausea and vomiting I had before. Does anybody have ANY idea what could be causing this? Or what tests I could ask my gastroenterologist to run when I see him next? And before anybody asks, I'm not pregnant.
