[QUAD-L] Hemorrhoids?
Have any of you had to go through having hemorrhoids? I’ve tried the over the counter stuff and had no relief. I was wondering if any of you have gone through having them and how did you get rid of them. If you had surgery how long was the stay, was it a very big deal? Thank you

Re: [QUAD-L] Hemorrhoids
Hemmoroids? OoYes! Been there done that. I recommend mirilax and go easy on the stimmulation. Be sure to get the suppository up high. Try using an extra preperation H between bowel movements. Drink plenty of water. If it doesn't clear up you might want to talk to your doctor. You won't enjoy anything he does so, truly, eat salads with spinach. If your just getting blood in your stool and you have no hemmoroids, go see your doctor now. He will probably want a sample.
