      I wish my Dr. knew anything about HS. She has no idea it is so frustrating.

      Hey! The Clindamyacin is working pretty good. I'm taking Tumeric too. I tried out a "Anti-Friction Stick" used for shoe blisters on my thighs today and had no break outs. I was amazed. :) I hope everything is going better!! I haven't caught up on your journal quite yet. :)

      This week has been awesome for me! It looks like you are doing well by the "Excellent" face! :) The Clindamyacin gel I'm using is stopping the HS from breaking out. 2 weeks and counting! Woohoo!

      Thanks! It's so frustrating to deal with it in the public. It seems like you have to suffer quietly because people just think you are a wimp. I've been very fortunate because I only have it on my inner thighs, but that also makes it so difficult to walk sometime. :( Hang in there bud!

      I think it's been a gradual thing since 2001 - it's weird, the first 'lump' was under my breast when I was in Africa - and I assumed it was an exotic insect bite! It's taken 6 years for the doctors to take me seriously and diagnose HS. Mine does seem pretty mild compared to others on here, but I've been getting bad flare-ups for the last year and, although I hate the fact that there is no cure - it's still good to know what I've got has a name and that I'm not alone! x

    • Close Hidradenitis Suppurativa

      Hello, I have had HS since I was 16 and it seems to be getting worse. I have been to a million Doctors and nothing yet. I have even been to the Mayo Clinic here in Scottsdale, Az. I am now trying some natural methods I have read about and hoping they will work. I really would love to live just one day pain free.

      Treatments

      Clindamycin Not Working
      Did nothing for me.
    • Close Glaucoma

      I have had it for about 5 years now I am 36 years old.

      Treatments

      Alphagan P Working / Worked
      Keeps it under control
      Marijuana Working / Worked
    • Open Diabetes Type 2

      I have had this for about 2 years now.

      Treatments

      Metformin Not Working
      I think it is not working for me. If I skip a day my blood sugar levels stay the same as if I took them.
