What are some tips for managing hs?

Hi , I just wanted to echo Lori and welcome you to the community. While I'm sorry to hear that you're currently dealing with fatigue, you definitely aren't alone. (Of course, as Lori pointed out, it's good to check in with your doctor about it as well, if you haven't already, just to determine whether or not the fatigue is related to HS or being caused by something unrelated to the HS.) I also wanted to include this link to information on treatments for HS, https://hsdisease.com/treatment (within the article there are clickable links to more information), as well as this from one of our health leaders about tips for managing HS symptoms, https://hsdisease.com/living/wound-care-hacks. Please know that this community is here for you, and don't hesitate to reach out. Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

Hi . Welcome to the community! I hope Bluefish is effective and that you're healing. Your fatigue might be due to HS and the inflammation that comes with it, but something else might also be the cause. Often, when people develop one chronic disease, that opens the door to others. If inflammation is the problem, an anti-inflammatory diet might help. Here is an article that can help you get started: https://hsdisease.com/clinical/anti-inflammatory-diet. But you might also want to ask your doctor to test your levels of vitamin D, B vitamins, iron and thyroid hormones. Deficiencies in any of those can cause extreme fatigue.
Please keep us posted and let us know how you're doing. I'll be thinking of you.
