I Cured My Lifelong HS

I’m now 53 and have just recently stumbled on HS and started reading it and it was a true revelation.. This was the answer to the biggest mystery of my life, what is causing these huge cysts I’ve had in the strangest places since I was a teenager.. I had been to probably 6 different dermatologist in the beginning, even went to Johns Hopkins trying to get this “cystic acne” cured.. I have taken every antibiotic imaginable, even took accutane, nothing worked.. Eventually I just learned to live with it..

Well I’m writing this to tell anyone suffering as I suffered, I believe I have found the true cause and the true cure.. I never found out about HS until AFTER mine seems to have completely retreated over the past almost three years now… What happened was I decided to quit sugar and anything with high fructose corn syrup for weight loss purposes.. I’m not fat, 6’0” and 197, but wanted to slim down and giving up basically anything and everything sweet was my gameplan… I also switched over to drinking nothing but water… I have stuck to it religiously,gotten completely used to it… My HS slowly started to just go away, I noticed my skin all over went from oily to very dry.. I no longer was getting new breakouts anywhere, not on my face or back or groin area.. The cysts that you could not see but could feel deep under the skin all gradually shrank and went away… My skin is the healthiest its been since before I was a teenager.

Frankly, I really wasn’t expecting all the benefits those simple changes to my diet and what I drink made in how I look and even how I feel…. I think the cure is simple, jusr eliminate sugar and corn based sweetners, and only drink water… Basically I have concluded without any shadow of a doubt in my mind, my HS was an allergic reaction to sugar and high fructose corn syrup …. Makes sense, I ate sweets everyday, drank nothing but regular soda, not in crazy binge like excess, but I’d think nothing of eating a donut or cinnamon bun or ice cream, or cake, or whatever I wanted….

I could write a damn book about all I went through and silently endured for 40 years of my life.. I want my discovery to help others get their HS cured too and feel compelled to tell everyone I can find with this disease how to get rid of it and get better… Real simple, drink only water and water only and no sugar or high fructose corn syrup, no sweets.. Fruits are okay, they don’t affect my HS…. Hope this helps someone, anyone…
