Sensory overload re Haemorrhoids ruining life

NAS75220

This is my first post here, so here goes.  My 29 yr old Aspie son has been plagued by haemorrhoids for years, culminating in surgery 2020, which after the immence effort it took to have it, the procedure failed.  He is constantly in pain and in fear of the swelling.  Wont take any pain relief for fear of dulling the pain and the haemorrhoid getting bigger.

We have seen consultants and even had a private consulation this week which we were told surgery would be the answer but it would be extremely painful,  for 6 weeks with an open wound and no guarantee of a pain free life after.  The doctor even said that for someone like my son who is so sensory overloaded, he wouldnt be able to cope with the pain and would feel suicidal.

so now we are left facing a life being unable to walk, do anything he wants to do, stuck at home.   He has just been given medicinal cannabis which helps

He says there is no point anymore

I really dont know how to help him.  Has anyone else been in a similar situation

  • I've had a fair share of medical issues throughout the years, so happy to share what I've found which seems to work for me.

    If you haven't tried yet, it can't hurt to try a whole week resetting your body's hydrating 'eco system' (for lack of a better phrase). Many sites will suggest that proper hydration is crucial. I've spent years trying to work out what the body needs to maintain proper acid-alkaline balance for pH. It's not just about drinking water. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3161391/

    Mineral rich water is incredibly important, as is lowering sugar intake (but not substituting with chemically manufactured sweeteners, either). If you're interested, here's what I do to rehydrate for 1-2 weeks: Still Mineral Water, Bath salts, magnesium spray, cranberry juice, honey and lemons. 

    Buy 2 Weeks worth of Natural Still Spring water and try to consume 750ml - 1L / day

    Use tap water for cooking & hot drinks. Limit caffeine drinks. I'll still have a coffee and a few cups of black tea, though.

    Add honey to tea or coffee instead of sugar (if needed). Natural alternatives like date sugar, honey and maple syrup will be processed in the body differently. Yes, they're still sugars (everything turns to sugar except meat), but they're Simple and not Complex. I notice a difference.

    Buy plain 100% cranberry juice (no added sweetener or sugar) and drink 2 shots per day: biona.co.uk/.../ It's incredibly bitter, but I swear by it and one gets used to it after a while. Also, juice 1 lemon a day. This is amazing for hydration.

    Mineral Salt baths and a magnesium spray are also good for this week. 

    From what I've read, one can be dehydrated in their blood. These elements are what I've found to be a good source of rehydrating the body. Don't forget the crisps! We do need salt to stay hydrated, but too much can be problematic.

    HOWEVER - this is not medical advice. There are numerous complexities which can be causing dehydration, issues with kidneys or little components which assist the kidneys or even something completely different.  Again, things I've read but I'm not a doctor. This week of hydration can't hurt to try as it's all a basic way of staying healthy. But if nothing changes, I would request to have other possibilities looked into.
