BEN'S STORY

This is the story of Ben, one of our study group patients, and is told in his own words:

"I am a middle aged male and married with a family. When I was about 25 I began suffering from an itchy and irritated anus. The skin would crack and sometimes bleed, and after going to the bathroom, I would be very sore. Afterwards I would itch horribly for hours. I was so sore, itchy and run ragged, I eventually went to the doctor.

He prescribed a hydrocortisone cream. It didn't really work for long. And he said not to use it for more than a week. So the relief was short lived. After trying further steroid creams, ointments and suppositories from the doctor, I bought over the counter products and over the next two years had pretty much tried all the usual brands.

Eventually I visited a rectal specialist who gave me an internal examination and pronounced me 'fit', and so I went to see a dermatologist who just shrugged and said "Well you have a sore itchy bottom, sorry I can't really help."

So I lived with it for years, as many of you reading this will have, I'm guessing. I would log into forums and ask for advice, and again tried lots of creams, special drinks, diets and many other suggested alternative remedies. Nothing worked and I had spent a small fortune.


During this period, to make things even worse, I became very ill. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, underwent a lot of tests and had to take high doses of steroids.

I dealt with all this OK - the worst thing was still the soreness, itching and horrible feeling in my anus. The doctors dismissed this as being unimportant. It was, though, for me the worst symptom. So, off work for a year, I volunteered to join a study group of like-minded sufferers from various walks of life for a controlled study by Anal Itch.org. All had different medical problems, but we shared one common factor: an itchy or sore anus- or both!

The study group was set a strategy to cope, using non-invasive techniques, no drugs or steroid creams. It was simple and effective and I for one can really recommend it. The group have since had new friends and colleagues in the forums test it out, and they too have reported lasting relief and are delighted."
