Students with HS?

Hey, I'm a student with HS in uni rn. I'm a bio major and like with most other stem majors its a ton of work -- I've had HS since I was 10 but didnt get diagnosed till a few years ago. I find it extremely difficult to study when I'm having a flare my consciousness is only on the pain and it gets really hard especially since I'm in a quarter system school and have midterms/finals every three weeks for multiple classes :/ If anyone has any tips on how to study while in a flare, I would really appreciate it!

  1. Hi . I hope you get some helpful responses from others in the community. I can't imagine concentrating on coursework while in so much pain. Have you talked to your doctor about pain relief, maybe something that doesn't impact your mental state or leave you drowsy? Here is an article about pain management with HS disease that might interest you: https://hsdisease.com/clinical/pain-management. Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. Hi! I haven't talked to my doctor about that yet because I've been trying to stay off medications as much as possible, but its a great idea thanks! Thanks for the article too I didn't realize it was there 😀
