About Me

Age: 39

Gender: Male

For the past 10 years I have struggled with depression and binge eating. Early on the intensity of these issues was directly linked to the level of stress I was under and would fluctuate. In 2012 I began dealing with Hidradenitis Suppurativa and was formally diagnosed in 2014. In the last 2 years my condition has gotten much worse and has intensified my depression and binge eating. For the first time in many years I feel I am running on empty and not sure how to keep going. I have joined this site hoping to find others that can understand my struggles and be of mutual support. Strength is found not only in the support of others but in sharing your strength as well.

For the last few weeks I have been taking Rifampin and Clyndamycin and they seem to keep the lesions in check. In two weeks I will be starting Remicade. I'm nervous about starting this treatment after my experience with Humira, but a consulting doctor from UNC has seen good results in his patients.
