If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

[LittleDonkeyCarrieMaryMumsnet]

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

Mine got worse until I was nearly passing out with the pain when 'going'. I HAD to see the GP. Plus, after having been through labour twice, i'd no shame left

Catinthehat it is my birthday tomorrow too! Which year were you born? and have we had this conversation before because I recall someone here being born on my 8th birthday.

Oh,They'll go back in Rhubarb.

But You Mark My Words..
They Will Return! And this time, They'll be angry.

lol pagwatch re stage five.

In fact, stage five is when children ask for a go on the spacehopper.

[eats kiwis preemptively]

Yes! Happy Birthday DG for tomorrow. I remember when we were lamenting our ahem..'big birthdays' together a few years back (probably you do not)

Hope you have a good day... Us January babies must stick together.

Yes seriously I'd rather shove an IcePop in mi knickers than have a GP shove a finger up mi arse, wrap an elastic band round the bastard whilst I scream in pain and then wait until the bugger falls off.

Actually dd got a space hopper for Christmas - at least I think it's a space hopper....

I had a massive one a few years ago - I had it injected with something mysterious but magical and it disappeared.

Then they decided things needed further investigation & booked me in for a barium enema xray, for which I had to take some viscious laxatives. I spent an entire day on the toilet & the thing returned with a vengeance.

Incidentally, I was told mine wasn't piles, it was a 'skin tag' - a distinction without a difference as far as I was concerned...

It is my threventieth birthday tomorrow (still December , thank you). I was probably twelvety when you were born. I haven't had this conv before. My oh my I have had a few.

Happy birthday DG!

LOL TsarChasm, I think you have jumped a day there. I am a December baby! Well, Catinthehat, if it was not you I spoke to before about this, there is yet another NYE MN baby out there somewhere. We need to unite!

Rhubarb, I have never had piles but I endured the agony of a anal fissure for 5 months after the birth of my eldest and in the end, the agony was too much. The relief at getting treatment from the GP was something I will never forget. Hopefully you won't get to that point, but honestly, for some things, even a finger up the bum is worth it.

Ooh rusty, I have a skin tag right there iykwim. I hope that doesn't erupt, it's bad enough keeping the piles at bay.

If it helps, Rhubs, I went to the docs with mine (prolonged & explosive d&v from a Tunisian hol were the cause of mine) and was told that banding is not the done thing these days, was given suppositories and sent away.

Suppositories did nowt - sad to admit it was only when I sprinkled them with a bit of Lourdes water that they went away... d'you know anyone who's been to Lourdes recently?

Well there you go, the power of prayer cured dh of his and Lourdes cured you of yours!

I'm getting a priest to bless mine right away!

Bless me father and bless my bum.

Swedes, did you watch the Enigma of Kaspar Hauser? What did you think? I am very fond of this film.

Rhubarb, hope you are OK with your almost festive but rather nasty medical problem.

Perhaps he could do an exorcism while he is there?

I think maybe they can use Botox on them now? Might have imagined that - but would that prospect tempt you? Of course your bum won't be able to smile or frown anymore but stil....

remember the thread by the mumsnetter who 'self operated' on hers!!?

nooooooo

ooh yes!! who is fab at finding old threads?

AmateurArseDoctor

lol well done RUSTY!

I have just read that thread through. At one point someone suggested I might be AmateurArseDoctor - errr, no chance folks! I can't get my legs behind my head for starters!

was the OP's identity ever established?

Brilliant Rusty and I bow down to AmateurArse!
