Third one done they are definitely getting easier now that I know what to expect. Ears pop at random times during the day now. I'm not sure if I was just over tired and chronically stressed from my crazy work schedule but I can say that I'm super sleepy now. Naps are now part of the treatment! I also had some pretty bad butt burn that is gone but this may just be a total coincidence. Either way I am happy to have what appears to be normal skin in the rectal area for the first time in years.
