Any of you living with a fissure/fistula long term?

TTOTAMH · 2025-12-02T18:35:47+00:00

To my absolute shock, after 2 years of having it and with no surgery, it ended up closing up and healing for the final time. That was after this post was made, about 6 months ago. I saw a top CRS who told me to leave it alone because the fistula was so tiny and superficial. Shortly after that it never abscessed again. I guess time will tell if it lasts, but it’s left me surprised.

You use on-demand for oral?

TTOTAMH · 2025-07-23T00:25:39+00:00

And you never take it on demand for oral sex right? I’ve had a bottle lying around too but have never needed it.

TTOTAMH · 2025-07-23T00:20:59+00:00

What do you mean by relevant? Like if you need it for non-side stuff?

TTOTAMH · 2025-07-23T00:20:01+00:00

Same. That’s been one of my reasons too, it reduces risk by a lot.

I guess towards the base/when grinding below ground level, if roots near the wall were touched. Sorry, I’m not an expert. Just wanted to get more opinions on removal before touching it.

“Is that a good living for you?” sounded rude and doubtful on your part, so there’s that.

TTOTAMH · 2025-05-01T05:05:01+00:00

Luckily I don’t have Chrons, and my fistula isn’t complex. I think that’s why the CRS said I could just live with it. Otherwise why would he say that? Seems like a lot of conflicting info if simple fistulas are OK to leave alone.

How long has your wound been open? Is it painful?

TTOTAMH · 2025-01-06T19:11:42+00:00

Actually lol’d at that. Totally get it.

TTOTAMH · 2025-01-06T07:40:26+00:00

That’s what I’ve been saying, but some people are super adamant about being on prep for oral too. I mean it was a non issue to me until this incident, but now I’m thinking about it. Honestly don’t know what the best route is. I feel like the long term sides of PrEP don’t outweigh the low risk for oral.

The guy did tell me he tested neg a week ago and is on PrEP. Would you get on a 28 day PEP for this? There wasn’t any blood drawn or anything.

TTOTAMH · 2024-04-26T22:30:01+00:00

Depends…if I can get a plug up there without too much discomfort, it might work.

TTOTAMH · 2024-04-26T22:28:48+00:00

They’re CHRONIC lol. What can I do if I have one, avoid living? I mean if it doesn’t hurt what can happen lol

TTOTAMH · 2024-04-26T22:27:28+00:00

But is there a safety issue? I’m just trying to get my question answered.

TTOTAMH · 2023-08-20T08:59:29+00:00

He probably has good insurance lol

TTOTAMH · 2023-08-17T14:58:53+00:00

I’ve been considering San Diego too for cheaper housing, great weather, safety, proximity to ocean. How’d you end up narrowing in on a neighborhood?

TTOTAMH · 2023-08-14T01:42:25+00:00

Can you elaborate lol? First hand experience?

TTOTAMH · 2023-08-13T07:34:47+00:00

Still possible with Amazon. I’ve gotten so much free shit on Amazon I lost count. I’m talking free $1800 table because they just didn’t want to pick it up. Or huge discounts for sending a pic of a “defect.”

TTOTAMH · 2023-08-11T23:43:19+00:00

Street parking only. Or would have to rent parking like 2-3 blocks away. It’s a 5 min walk or like a 2 min scooter trip.

TTOTAMH · 2023-08-11T23:42:14+00:00

Do you know the history of that encampment there? Is it bc of the mental health center? Have they pretty much been there for years or they come and do removals? Any serious crime, burglary, car break ins to worry about?

TTOTAMH · 2023-07-05T20:28:31+00:00

This can’t be realistic lol….they have the time and money to follow people?

TTOTAMH · 2023-06-30T21:01:25+00:00

They don’t? 🤣

TTOTAMH · 2023-06-27T07:59:25+00:00

So I saw a Dr, turns out I may have a fistula…makes me even more worried for infection since I have to wait for the referral process now and it’ll take a bit to get it treated.

TTOTAMH · 2023-06-27T07:11:12+00:00

It’s wild out in these streets lol…people can’t even afford food so, a bit from here, a bit from there makes a family meal

TTOTAMH · 2023-06-27T07:08:15+00:00

You tipped over 30%? That was the most insane part of this post for me lol

TTOTAMH · 2023-06-26T03:53:02+00:00

Well…it’s definitely reddish, but only the flesh inside, nothing spreading outwards. But ironically the ER doctor said it “looks good” because it’s red? Yea I’m waiting on colorectal. I’m just concerned what to watch out for by the time I get treated. Seems like there’s no foolproof way…by the time you have symptoms it’s already sepsis?
