HS and Friendships (Part 4)

Kathryn Shusta

By Kathryn Shusta

"As a friend, I think that the most helpful thing you can do is listen to what your friend is saying they have a hard time with.”

In this video on hidradenitis suppurativa and friendship, Gwen talks about how living with Katy helped her to understand the many challenges that Katy faces while living with HS. Katy and Gwen continue their discussion on how to establish safe boundaries when talking to friends about HS and how friends can be a great support system for people living with a chronic illness.
