      - We see you! It sounds like you are dealing with so much right now. It's admirable that you reached out here and we are glad you did. We have a resource page that I wanted to share with you, in case any would help: https://hsdisease.com/resources-health. Navigating the system is so challenging and overwhelming. I am sending you virtual hugs and hoping tomorrow is a better day. We're here for you to vent anytime you need it 💜

      @sissybear666 I too feel like there is a relationship between my HS and my gut issues! I have been diagnosed with IBS and whenever that flares my HS does too!

      it's been awhile but now that I really sit and think about it - I started having my HS symptoms first as a pre-teen then developed GI issues in my teens and have been dealing with them both now into my 30's.

      I have GERD too! I don't know if they're connected but I have IBS and GERD as well as HS! I had the HS first, did you find you had stomach issues or HS happen first?

      thank you! Luckily it has calmed down now. I'm curious if there are links between my GERD and HS, and wonder if there are others here that struggle with both these things <3
