You might want to definitely consider trying tumeric if you haven't already. A few here have had some good results. Also have to gone to the dr. about the pain, it's not helping any if you not able to sleep.
We all wish this HS would go away, so we all know how you feel.
If you can get to the doctor you might want to seriously consider taking some antibiotic and prescription pain meds. Just an idea, I know not everyone here has insurance. For example, myself right now, until I'm approved I have no insurance.
