Thank you for the responses, I will try the suggestions tommorow when my usual bout of pain springs up. I have done the sitz bath before many times, it helps but its nothing that will last the whole day. I did notice id start drying the whole area on my floor fan after the baths or a shower and...

Please, someone has to have gone through the same thing. The constant pain is beginning to depress me

Hello, I've had pretty aggressive Crohn's disease now for over a year and a half. Only at the start of this year had all the constant BM's and squeezing caught up with me, and I was landed with the most agonizing internal and external hemmroids I could ever possibly think they would be. Along...

Thank you all for sharing your experiences with me, it does help to know its common for the diagnosis to take a very long time. My come down off of steroids is going very well, and although I've lost my appetite again, my horrible acne breakout is subsiding and im losing the weight I gained. As...
