Hello all,
I have had HS in its most active form for a little over five years My flares, through diet are minimal however I drain constantly. . Today stood out.

It's said to be very rich in antioxidants. Does this sound like it could be a contributing factor. ..possibly purging dirty blood?

I had some bleeding this morning but aside from that I haven't had much. You truly don't know what to expect from day to day.
Hang in there!
