| | softeners/laxatives |  May 16th 2008, 2:30 pm by val | okay, I know this is a silly question when I've had this thing nearly a year, but are softeners/laxatives really necessary when constipation isn't an issue?
I always get the dose SO wrong and it will work perfectly one day and yet the same dose the next day will have me rushing to the bathroom all day!
Where am I going wrong???

Do some of you drink alcohol even though you have a fissure? Since I am feeling real good today I am considering drikking a little. I am of course scared that it will make things a lot worse.

| Ointment stats/idea | | May 15th 2008, 10:06 am by cherylk | All,
I am getting addicted to this forum and am not getting other things done that I need to do, but that is my problem. At any rate, I had a couple of ideas:
Would it be helpful to compile stats on responses to ointments? I realize that the info could be meaningless as we are all individuals with different body chemistries. For example, if we conducted a poll re: ...

| Sitting vs Standing | | May 11th 2008, 8:29 pm by Melissa | Hello All,
