Hi Rochelle! As HS patients we do often have other diseases as well. Unfortunately, the possibility of other diseases is endless - too many variations and severity to count. As per our community rules, we would like to stay on topic with hidradenitis suppurativa. Do you have other topics centered around living with HS that you would like to see discussed? For me, I know maintaining friendships can be tough, especially if friends don't understand how much pain is involved with HS. What do you think are some common HS topics? ~Chelsea (Team Member)
