Re: flair day, read at your own risk...-To Candace

Candace,

I'm so sorry to hear that you have been in such pain. That makes two of us.

When I do the sitz baths (and it's been a few weeks) I use baking soda b/c of

the fact that it keeps my itching down. Have you thought of using that too? I

also found that when I used the baking soda that it toughened up my skin like

how the estrogen creams are supposed to do.

I know that you are afraid to use the xylocaine, but maybe if you try it a

couple of times it may help. Also are you under a lot of stress like me? Can

you handle Tylenol or Motrin to see if that helps some of your pain as well?

As for how I deal with my pain, is I try to take it one day at a time, try to

keep my stress level under control (even though it hasn't been easy), use my

xylocaine, take my pain meds, try not to get angry at things b/c right now since

I'm already under so much stress if I'm not careful and get angry like I did

tonight (and I tried my hardest not to) then that will set me back a couple of

days for trying to get off of the pain meds.

(((((Candace))))))

Please feel better soon, and please know that you are in my thoughts.

Take care,

Kristy
