i feel like everything i say is so graphic! ok here we go. i am about 3 months past the surgery when they hooked up the j-pouch. for the last couple weeks i have been losing my mind with the itching and burning i have at all times of the day. when i have a bm i cant get the tp fast enough to whip. i get very shaky as i grab the tp and find myself letting a grunt out. then more comes out. ugh! then right away it happens again. within 3 seconds i start shaking bad again and whistling or something as i am grabbing more tp... but yea i guess that wasnt TOO graphic... i try to use cortizone cream, or vaseline or baby powder, i use the contenelle flushable fresh care wipes. i also have been applying gold bond medicated anti itch cream. which helps the longest out of all but still at max 30 or so minutes. i know of course to call doctor. and yes i have. i was told these things do happen and to do these things i have been as they should get better. next appt. is july 10, 2013. ANY advice is very much appreciated!! has anybody had similar symptoms? and what helped???
ps sorry for spelling errors and if i lost my train of thought. like i said i feel like i am losing my mind. gotta stay positive!
