Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for the encouragement. It really helps to hear from someone who understands what these side effects are like. I hadn’t heard of Sawra Maurer before, but I’ll definitely keep her and the Mayo Rochester team in mind as an option. The details you shared about the cream and dilation are especially helpful, and just knowing I’m not alone in this means a lot. Blessings to you as well, and thank you again for taking the time to reach out. I live in the northeast and still have doctors I used to see in Florida, so I’m hoping I can find someone either in the Philadelphia/New Jersey/Delaware area or in the Orlando/Tampa area to help me navigate this alongside my current gastroenterologist and colorectal surgeon. But if it comes down to traveling to Minnesota for care, I’ll do it. At this point, anything is worth a shot.
