Incivek and Anal Dragon Fire

[catmagic0406]

I spent too much time yesterday (considering I am six weeks out from treatment) reading here about the horrors of the anal dragon fire and the internal pain.  That is gonna make things really rough, isn't it?  I read a lot of suggestions, and of course I know everyone is different.  Could some of you write out with numbers (1,2,3 etc  - I need structure - lol) what you would recommend to ease this?  I know about the Huggies baby wipes (I use them already - would never be without them - they are so useful for so many things).  When I read about the "shards of glass" stuff I couldn't imagine how I could deal with that kind of pain.  WHY do we have to get SO sick in order to maybe get well?  COULD tx make you worse in other ways?  (I'm adding questions to the original one so I'll stop)  

So it would be like:

1.  Get Huggies Baby Wipes with Aloe
2.  Clean completely after each BM (get in shower, stiz bath whatever) asap
3.  Dry completely - TOTALLY with ????????
4.  Eat ............... to firm up stools
5.  Take............... to firm up stools
6.  etc etc etc

I read that fat AND oil can be helpful.  Seems to me though that oil would make things slippery - and meaning less firm, more diarrhea.  ????  I have to choke down that 20g of fat 3 times a day anyway.  The oil - not so sure that would be beneficial???
Thanks.  I know I'm ahead of the game here, and I guess I will have a nurse who will assist me with all this, but I trust all of you more.

Haha, and it says it in such HUGE letters, on the top of the page, like the Marquis letters, for an X-rated Bruce Lee type movie!
   I had heard it was called "Fire Butt" (can we say butt on here?) but along with the fire, I also got this intense itching...which is when the Mr. Shower and then the blow-dryer came in handy. The Baby-Wipes just didn't take care of the itching for me, but everybody is different, so gather up your supplies, and try different things.
  The way this medicine works, you will be having to use the rest-room, while you are out shopping, etc, so that is when your wipes will come in handy.
   I began using alot of whole yogurt while popping the pills, and it seems to coat things, has acidophilus in it,  to fight off fungal problems, and bad bacteria, and has calcium in it which we need, especially
while on Tx

Wow, have you seen what those look like?
With a name like "Rectal Rocket" my curiousity got the better of me:

Gee, duh, I wrote "Invicek" up there instead of "Incivek" - I'm sure I won't be messing that up once it starts.

And I have to laugh about the title I used for this thread.  "Anal Dragon Fire" no less.  Anyone who is not going through this (and I haven't yet and hope not to) would freak out - think it was an x-rated tattoo or something.  ha.

Yeah, I'm thinkin' my doc and nurse aren't going to be of much help IF this stuff happens to me.  I mean, how can anyone who's not experiencing it understand "internal shards of glass pain" - lol.  That is SERIOUS pain, and for sure I will get those Rectal Rockets if I have to have my sister in Clearwater help me out (near St. Pete).

[catmagic0406]

COOL!  Rectal Rockets!  FOR SURE I will contact your St. Pete folks ~ and go from there.  Of course, I will see if it happens to me, but... I just have this feeling that it will.

HUGE thank you for this one!
