Holy hemorrhoids!

  I havent had to really deal with them since Halloween weekend.  I think it was a wake up call for me to sit down more at work (since I teach, I was on my feet for the entire day) and relax more when I got home.  I hope they go away soon.  *knock on wood* that they don't reoccur during our pregnancies!

  I couldn't take it anymore a few months back. I had one that made it unbearable to walk, stand, sit. UGH. I tore it open with a needle and when it was bleeding I put alcohol wipes on it. Burned like a mutha but it's never come back since. Hope that helps you some.

  Me too!!  The amount of blood scared me at first but now knowing where it's coming from I'm ok.  Ugh so not cool though.

  Maybe mine aren't too bad, cuz it never occurred to me to cut it (ouch) and I haven't had any bleeding. I've found a cold compress shrinks it enough relief for me. I read something about Tucks pads.... anyone got a recommendation on them?

  As it happens, the other time I got a hemorrhoid was on the second day of a 4 day big wall climb in Yosemite. (Let's just say that you've got a narrow window for when it's a good time to 'go' and I suppose that did it. That or sitting/hanging in a harness for 4 days.) If given the choice, I might choose to have this particular ailment pregnant over that experience. That really sucked. 

  GL, ladies!
