I'm so glad you asked this question because it's honestly something I've been contemplating for a while. I feel like HS has become a part of my identity rather than something that has happened to my body. I wonder what would it look like if I didn't shape my whole identity around the disease. Also, I ask myself why I do? So, basically, I do but I don't want to. It's a part of my story but it's not who I am.
