* OTC pain medicine is helpful for treating hemorrhoid pain.
* Aleve (naproxen sodium) is an anti-inflammatory that can relieve discomfort
* Topical creams or suppositories work well for the itching and burning – Tronolane, Preparation H, Hemorid, and Tucks are all products that are available over the counter.
Treating the Hemorrhoid:
* Topical medications (listed above) are useful in reducing irritation.
* A Sitz Bath is a small tub specially designed to allow the soaking of hemorrhoids without taking a bath, they are available at most pharmacies. Soak the rectal area in hot water for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a day. (This will help relieve symptoms and aid shrinkage)

hemmoroid symptoms can be dealt with by changes in diet and habits;
diet; more fiber! green leafy veggies, low fat meats, daily fiber supplements (like metamucil), drink water-lots of water!
habits;
less sedentary lifestyle, don’t strain during bowel movements, lift heavy items with your legs-not your back,
as far as dealing with IBS,…i stay away from cheese!!!!!!! (&dairy)

IBS is part of Fibromyalgia. Do you have any other symptoms of FMS?
