Hello, my name is Ellen and I just stumbled upon this board. I was going through the health and well being board because I am having some issues (have to have a breast biopsy next week and also am possibly looking at having to have a hysterectomy d/t extreme bleeding and cramps during my periods, but all that is another story :) ).
Anyway --- I was dx with ulcerative colitis in 1999, I also have Gerd and was operated on for that in 1988 but it has since returned. I take asacol for the colitis and nexium for the gerd ---- I have it from both ends :)!!!
Anyway, I was just curious, I have a problem with my colitis that I was wondering if anyone else has --- I have a horrible anal fissure that I get almost every month that will start when I have diarrhea, however, it also seems to get worse with hormone fluctuations as well. The fissure is usually worse than the colitis flareup because it causes extreme agony when I go to the b/r.
I was just curious if anyone else goes through this.
Ellen
