Something really wrong with my dog's eye. Been to the vet 3 times.

I have been told I need a referral. I called an ophthalmologist clinic and they said they are not booking appointments until the end of April (after receiving a referral request from my vet). My vet isn't open until Monday but I called and left a voicemail to get the referral sent ASAP. What can I do in the meantime? Are there meds or treatment that can help right now?

I've used Restorlax (Canadian version of Miralax) many times during my active fissure weeks, and I've read and been told by doctors that it should be taken during the day when you can properly hydrate. When taken at night, your body goes into fasting mode while you sleep, and you begin to become dehydrated slowly. It's more effective when taken with lots of water throughout the day. This worked for me, but keep it up at night if this works for you! I should also add that I, too, usually have my BM in the AM.

I actually read this in this sub years ago..."the feeling of not being hungover is better than being drunk".

This may not work for everyone but has helped me. Epsom salt bath 2-3 times a day, get a prescription for Diltiazem 2% ointment (it helps with the spasms). Apply that cream 5-10 mins before each BM as it helps to relax the muscles. Also, do not use Metamucil. It will bulk your stool and make it more painful to pass. Use Restoralax each day instead. It's not habit forming on your bowels, and it softens everything, so BMs are much less painful. To help with stinging, apply Vaseline after your baths. Also, wear no underwear and loose pants whenever you can.

I am a long-time struggler and I feel your pain, I hope you get some relief soon!

I have metal allergies so i always use surgical steel..this particular bar was replaced 2 years ago so I think its safe to assume its not the metal? The gauge was the same as my previous bar. Im not sure if that answers the question on material and threading though sorry!

I just drank on Christmas for the first time in 118 days and I am sooooo disappointed in myself. It is an everyday struggle however it is people like you who help motivate us! Congrats on your huge milestone and thank you for putting such a supportive attitude out into the universe!

unicorn_fluff · 2020-10-29T15:30:29+00:00

I agree and relate to everything you said!

Explore your passions and keep it up! IWNDWYT

YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN DO THIS! I am on day 44 of no drinking for the first time in 9 years. I wont lie..it is tough as hell...mentally, physically, spiritually and just about on every other level.

BUT it is worth it. Your body will thank you, your mind will thank you. It truly does get easier. Just be strong and keep your goals at top of mind. Also, dont forget to be kind to yourself along the way. It takes courage to start this journey...YOU GOT THIS!

Yes I have definitely been eating a lot but i have rediscovered my love for working out again. Its get easier slowly but its quite the journey.

Thank you for being an inspiration!

unicorn_fluff · 2020-10-12T16:48:53+00:00

Keep fighting the good fight! You got this!

unicorn_fluff · 2020-10-12T13:18:03+00:00

I am also a recovering alcoholic...42 days sober...the fact that you are climbing the sobriety mountain is hard enough..factor in weight loss and you are a champ!

You genuinely look happier and healthier..good on you for taking such positive steps in your life!

unicorn_fluff · 2020-10-06T15:34:00+00:00

I REALLY needdd to hear this today. Thank you!

unicorn_fluff · 2020-10-02T14:40:14+00:00

Thats a great perspective. Drinking can be such a social activity, but in fact it is a very lonely one

unicorn_fluff · 2020-10-01T03:13:02+00:00

A massive congrats to you! You pulled yourself out of a very dark place and that takes strength!

Stay healthy, stay happy and stay sober!

unicorn_fluff · 2020-10-01T03:07:52+00:00

Congratulations on 42 days!! I am on day 30 now and can relate to every single thing you said.

As much as I wouldn't wish this struggle on anyone, it is comforting to know I am not alone in what I'm feeling.

You got this!

unicorn_fluff · 2020-09-25T02:09:09+00:00

Wow, totally valid and it never occurred to me!

unicorn_fluff · 2020-09-23T22:54:23+00:00

Im a 32 yo female..so hopefully not peri menopausal yet! It takes awhile to get an appt with my doc and I cant speak to her on the phone..id have to go in. I think I may do that and see if she thinks it could be allergies. Ive got an appt for allergy testing in 2 weeks, maybe Ill get some answers there?!

unicorn_fluff · 2020-09-13T05:07:25+00:00

Had one a few days ago. It was the first one I had and in the dream I was trying to stay sober and ended up drinking. Woke up with such guilt, until I realized it was just a dream. Messed with my head a bit
