Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I'm old, this is an indelicate subject, and I don't trust what the cabal tells me on this.
How do you really prevent/deal with hemorrhoids?
Psyllium husk has been a game changer for me. Bye bye hemorrhoids.
I take a small amount of invermectin every day, along with hot tub soaks and lots of vitamins and herbs. Never had them since I became more regimented!
Sit in a hot tub, just enough to soak your bootie 2x a day, get a bottle of witch hazel, soak some cotton balls with it and hold it there, put some on the toilet paper every time you wipe. Use a stool softener, eat more fruits and veggies and drink water to prevent constipation, try to be active with walking, but no straining to lift.If you have a job that requires sitting for long periods, trucking, office work etc, you need to take time in the day for walking.I do not mean a hot tub like a special hot tub. Just your own bathtub, if you dont have a bath tub a basin will do, just as hot as you can take it, it's known as a "sitz bath:.
