Wow!

I really don't have a lot of input on the my diagnosis besides feeling like I was cursed and alone. But I must say, seeing such a community and support from people suffering the same symptoms as me is extremely encouraging. I honestly thought I was alone. I've never personally met someone dealing with the and the obstacles it comes with so to see people all over experience the same life as me is really refreshing. I'm 37 and live in Texas. I've been dealing with this for years. It felt like a death sentence for a while but I've gotten more positive through time. I hope the same for everyone here as well. I look forward to interaction with this community. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in this fight.

  1. Hi . Welcome to the community! I am so glad you found us, especially since you were feeling so alone. I'm sure you've interacted with others in your life who have HS, but people tend to keep their diagnoses to themselves. So we don't hear about it. I hope you find some treatments and strategies that help through this community. Sending lots of gentle hugs your way. - Lori (Team Member)
