I'm right there with you on butt woes. After my mysterious illness, when I was physically unable to eat anything at all for over a month, plus the horrible side effects of the medicines... it's been fun. I've had quite a similar thang going, which I can best attribute to that whole potion of my bodily systems not having been active for too long a time. Lube, it makes all the difference. I probably should talk to my doc about the issue too, I've been reluctant to bring up any new issues with him.
