hey everyone, its been along time since ive been on here, and i see alot of new faces. so welcome to those people.
i think the last time i was here i told everyone about going in for more surgery in june. well that has since passed and i had another surgery in sept. and another one coming in the new year.
and after all these surgeries, ive found that yes they help tremendously, but my HS still comes back. i mean not as bad or as large. but its still here. but as of right now since my latest surgery. i am completly HS free in my buttocks area. that said, the evil HS has started moving its nasty self to my back and ears. which isnt so easy to hide.
so for those of you who are considering the surgery. it really does help, it doesnt cure, but helps. and what freed my HS in my buttocks was 3 surgeries, and hey it might come back. but im living for today. :)

I'll keep you and everyone else here in my prayers that we get some relief if not downright answers and a cure. That is my Christmas wish, that we find a cure in this upcoming new year.
Gentle huggles to you k9!
