Happy Birthday, HSDisease.com! 🎉
December 3rd marks the 1 year anniversary of the HSDisease.com community! In celebration of 1 year full of meaningful conversations, insightful articles, and our amazing community, we want to give a big thank you to all our members and advocates. None of this would be possible without each and every one of you – THANK YOU!
Our community
Our community was created to foster a safe space for people living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). We know that living with HS is incredibly hard for so many reasons. We are here to support you on this path, whether you are newly diagnosed, a caregiver of a loved one, or someone who has been at this for years. This space was created for you, by you. It has grown before our eyes, and we are so excited to see it continue to flourish.
Whether it has been on HSDisease.com, our Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, we have been excited to share information, connect with those living with HS, and offer a place for everyone to share their personal thoughts and experiences.
We have learned so much from you and hope you have found some lasting connections as our community continues to grow.

Stories about living with HS
Someone's gotta go first!
It is never easy to be the first, but this community member shared their story with us just a few months after we launched, and we are forever grateful.
I am blessed to be in a group that cares and, unfortunately, understands what I am going through, as we all are going through.

A message to the community
It has been an honor to build this community with you over the past year. Each of you has contributed to creating an environment where we can share our emotions freely, without judgment, knowing that there are others who understand what you are going through. Life with hidradenitis suppurativa can be a roller coaster. Sometimes you need to scream, sometimes you need to laugh, and sometimes you just need somebody to ride along with you. That's why we are here.
Thank you all for showing each other support, sharing your hopes and fears, picking each other up, and most of all, just being here. We look forward to continuing to grow with you over the next year and beyond!
Sincerely,
The HSDisease.com Team 💜
