Baby I'm so sorry! I don't know if it will make you feel any better, but I really really understand. I am going through the same pain right now. It isn't always going to be this bad. You will have some times of relief. And don't listen to the people at school. You are going to be much stronger person for going through this.
Bactine spray has some Lidocane in it and it offers relief for a little while. Sorry I don't know any other solutions for you. I'm not sleeping either.

Have you considered surgery? I had 25 stitches and am healing nicely. You should speak to a colo-rectal surgeon. He may be able to end your pain. :)

@matthewmccorkle sorry your in so much pain, I hate HS and it sucks hearing how much it effects peoples lives. I get pain relief from turmeric within the hour of taking it. What I do is 1tsp of turmeric in warm chicken broth or soup, add a pinch of black pepper and a little bit of coconut or olive oil. The trick is taking the turmeric warm, also the black pepper and oil help increase the bioavailability by 200%.
This is something that is working GREAT for me but might not work for everyone. It's meant to be taken 3-4x daily.
You have nothing to lose, try it for a week and if it doesn't help... your off to the next remedy. Feel free to message me for links or anything =)
