Hi Belle:I'm not really sure what I posted that you're asking about, but my good news is that what I thought was a fissure actually seems to be a hemorrhoid that hemorrhaged. My PCP had continued me on the Rowasa that my surgeon started me on. Evidently my body doesn't like the stuff, and chose to act up to get me to stop using it. Now that I've been shoving Prep-H instead of Rowasa, I'm recovering very nicely! So, I guess I'm doing pretty good!bob
