Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Imran. I built this because of something I couldn't say out loud for over a decade. I was fifteen the first time it happened. A sudden, savage cramp deep inside — the kind of pain that folds you in half at 3 a.m. and convinces you something has torn. Ten minutes later it lifted like a hand letting go, and left nothing behind. No blood, no mark, nothing to show a doctor. So I never told one. For years I was certain I was the only person on earth this happened to, and for one bad stretch I was certain it was cancer. It has a name: proctalgia fugax. It's harmless. And somewhere between 8 and 18 people in every hundred have it — almost none of them talking about it. That silence is the actual problem. It's a pain severe enough to make people faint, in a part of the body nobody will discuss, with test results that always come back normal. So I spent twenty years reading everything, trying everything, and eventually built a system that gave me my nights back — breathing that reaches a muscle you can't consciously control, a 3 a.m. attack protocol, and the prevention habits that actually moved the needle. I put all of it into a book, in plain, human language, written by someone who's been on the bathroom floor rather than someone quoting a journal. I'm not a doctor — this is lived experience and cited research, not a diagnosis, and the very first chapter tells you exactly when to go see a real one. That mattered a lot to me to get right. It's a 176-page book (PDF + EPUB), and there's a free 3 a.m. emergency card on the site if you just need the practical bit. If you've ever had this — or you're a maker who's turned a personal, awkward problem into something useful — I'd genuinely love to hear from you. And if you've never heard of it: now you have, and that's kind of the whole point. 🙏
