If it is happening right now
Do not wait for a reply from me — get on the floor, knees up and apart, belly soft, and breathe out slowly. The full step-by-step is free, and it is the same protocol that is in the book.
Email me directly
Write to hello@proctalgiafugax.co. I read everything, and I answer what I can.
Things I am genuinely glad to receive:
- Corrections. If I have got something wrong — a fact, a citation, a piece of anatomy — I want to know. It makes the next edition better.
- What worked for you. Some of the most useful things in the book came from patient reports rather than papers.
- Problems with an order. Purchases go through Gumroad, and if something has gone wrong with a download, tell me and I will sort it.
One thing I cannot do
I cannot tell you what is causing your pain. I am not a doctor, and this is a diagnosis of exclusion — meaning it can only be arrived at by a clinician ruling other things out, in person, with an examination.
If you have rectal bleeding, a fever, a lump, unexplained weight loss, pain between episodes, a lasting change in bowel habit, or a new symptom after the age of 50, please do not email me about it. Please see a doctor. That is not me brushing you off — it is the single most useful sentence I have.
If you are frightened right now and it is the middle of the night, start here instead.
