Re: New thread for #109287 + edit (was " emergency, please help? my period makes me violently ill!"
Howdy Missy!
i'm so sorry, uny, i'm not sure what i did, :::grin::: well then, there's certainly NO need to be sorry! when, or how much (just, i'm sure now, *looking down* that it wasn't enough), and to answer the rest of your questions i need to like, focus, and i am having a very hard time doing it, especially because, despite having downright comfortable (for me, anyway!) bathroom visits lately, i have somehow developed my first ever in my life internal prolapsed hemorrhoid and,owee :( it's smarting so bad no matter what i do, i can't think about much else and i'm terrified to "go" now unless i can get it to retract... i have just a few capsules of serrapeptase, and got some bromelain and they seem to be helping some (and also seem to've made a small bit more of my period come out), and also butcher's broom and i'm going to try to rest and hope it retracts... confused me - internal hemorrhoids can be considered "prolapsed" but it seems to me your describing an external prolapse...since you're talking about getting it to retract. One of the best things you can do is apply an ice pack and/or a castor oil pack directly (and sitz baths are great). Don't worry about having the time or focus to reply - I'm certainly in no hurry. Internally, the things you're using may work, but generally they all take some time. Personally, I'd be ingesting LOTS of slippery elm, and applying slippery elm bark powder mixed with aloe gel profusely - both are fantastic soothers AND healers. Be sure to keep drinking copious amounts of water. How has your liver been feeling lately? You didn't just happen to do any liver related protocols in the last couple of days? or be experiencing liver pain? The reason I ask is because MANY hemorrhoids are caused by portal vein pressure. Here's the portal vein system...
...and it's not uncommon at ALL for one of the lower veins to turn into a hemorrhoid from 'backward pressure' from the liver.
i'm sorry i'm not being a good 'patient', who said you weren't being a good patient? certainly not me, silly! You're just busy, you have an owee-bottom! when you're being so amazing, taking the time to provide me all this information and counsel...and i'm not meaning to be butt-kissy, and I don't think you're being "butt kissy" either! just... when someone spends their time to help me, it's a big deal to me... i'm not very used to people caring about me...well, I guess you'll just have to "toughen up" and get used to it! (lol) I care VERY much about you (and about everybody else I do my best to help). It's because Rocky53 (my hubby) and I care SO much, that we've opened this forum and devoted our life to helping others. We're old hippies, and we still believe that we CAN change the world for the better one person at a time. So welcome to the world of being cared about - we're just doing what we think ALL people should be doing - BEING the change we want to see in this ugly ole world (until we can change enough people that we can all work together to make it "pretty" again!).
and i'm pretty embarrassed that you (had to) read my posts because of all the questions i've asked - i feel almost like some usuals probably think "oh, THAT girl again!" but ...i hurt so much...:::shaking head and finger at Missy while winking:::: Now, you can just cut that out right now, young lady! I never EVER answer posts without reading through previous posts. There's no reason at ALL for you to feel embarrassed or ashamed for wanting to know what's wrong with your body and how to heal it!
i may not be able to give you all the history you ask but, I hope you'll get me as much as you can. I can't put together puzzles without having pieces. :( one thing i can assure you, i'm definitely going to give the EFFORT my all! and i hope that even if i'm not a good 'patient', 'you' (or some of you) might still be willing to lend some knowledge when i need you? Every body here is a good patient, because every body is a good person...and so are you. Do we fall off the bandwagon sometimes while we're on these bumpy healing pathways (that were made bumpy by those that poisoned our food & water, and demented our doctors into drug pushers? Yes indeedy! Are any of us perfect? Not a chance! All I ask of anyone is that they learn why I suggest what suggest, so they'll have the knowledge and self-empowerment to do 'what it takes' to heal themselves. When we know WHY we need to do something, we'll do it. But it's almost impossible to do things when we don't understand why we're supposed to do them.
i'll be back - much to some of y'all's chagrin, i'm sure? *blush, shy smile*Oh my, what AM I going to do with you? :::smile::: There's no reason to think you're not welcome here, or that anybody is 'chagrin-ing' about you (or anything about you).
x o,
missy
p.s. one moooore apology, uny! ...i didn't think i sounded up in arms about enemas, when someone recommended to me, i meant to only politely respond that they're just not something i'd like to try, and later i meant to only politely mention ahead of time (because it seemed likely someone was going to recommend that again) that they're just not something i'd like to try, i never, ever meant to be up in arms, or judgy, of enemas orrrr enema-proponents and i WHOLEHEARTEDLY apologize if that's the energy i put out there and i even want to say that to those who do, i stand in admiration of you because you're trying to give your body the best care you can and, i want it to pay off for you all in spades! <3 There is absolutely NO reason to apologize (and don't you dare write back and apologize for apologizing!!! lol). You were VERY polite and understanding in all your responses to those suggesting enemas & colonics. Methinks you misunderstood my point though (and don't apologize for misunderstanding! :::grin:::) You were very polite...a LOT - to me, a lot more than a person that just doesn't care for the idea of enemas. There are a LOT of people out there that don't like the idea of enemas. But I 'sensed' that with you (and perhaps I sensed wrongly, and I hope you understand if I did - because I make mistakes too)...that perhaps you had more of a problem with the idea of doing enemas than the average person. And if you do/did have 'more than a typical aversion to enemas', then perhaps you've experienced some type of trauma, or rigid upbringing, or guilt about your "poop parts" when you were little, or shame, or embarrassment (or anything like those things). And that could have something to do with the reason you have constipation...because our bodies are NOT just physical, they're mental/emotional and spiritual,too. And a mental issue can easily equal a physical issue. Just so you know, I'm glad you care about everybody, but I was concerned about you and the way YOU feel about enemas - not how you feel about anybody else doing them.
So whenever you get your owee under control, I'll be hear to go over your history and responses, and we can start putting together those puzzle pieces whenever you're ready...but since I'm working on other things now, it may take a few days to get you all the information after you post (but I'll be sure and post and let you know how long).
Blessings!
