So I finally went to pick up my prescription. I have not been bleeding as much as I had been. but still bleeding.
So let me catch you up on this nightmare of finding out that I have hemorrhoids and trying to rid myself of this issue. So I went to Urgent care about two weeks ago. I went because my stools were bloody. I mean like BLOODY. I don't scare easily but I was a bit frightened I have to admit. I put it off for several days because I really thought something was wrong with me.
So I find out that it is curable and an easy remedy. I was embarrassed because Mr. Doctor had to put his finger in my butt to apply some ointment. On the other hand, I was happy that it was just hemorrhoids and not cancer. I don't know why it did not occur to me that it was hemorrhoids. I guess other than the fact that I had never had them before. It just never came to my mind until he said it. Here's what I found on google to give you a visual. As I try to post pictures on every blog :)
Okay, enough of the gross stuff. I have external hemorrhoids which you can see in the picture above. So the prescription that I would not go get because I was being silly and a bit childish to say the least, was an ointment. However, My health insurance would not cover the ointment. So the urgent care doctor had to prescribe something they would cover. THIS went on for days. I don't understand why but I was finally able to get my prescription that my insurance would cover and it was a suppository. OH, MY GOD, that is even worse than a cream you rub on. I have to now stick this little pill shaped cream in my butt. If you have not guessed by now I am like totally OVER this whole situation.
Well Like I said in my other post I got the prescription because I want to be healthy. More than that I want this bleedy to stop and I hope once they are gone they NEVER come back. Well, that is all the story for now.
By the way, while I was in the pharmacy I also got my vitamins so I can start taking them and build up my deficiency. So I am taking Vitamins A, B12, Calcium and D3. One pill a day. I added the B12's myself. I figure I have always wanted to start taking the B12 vitamins. I have heard good things so I figured it can't hurt.
