It is important to know that there will be ups and downs with HS.
That said, there are resources out there that can help.
Yes, HS is a skin disease.
But its also the foundation of a community.
Dear Fellow HS Warrior,
It is going to be okay.
Take a deep breath.
But research will probably overwhelm you even more.
You will be okay.
First and foremost, it will be hard.
I cannot lie to you about that.
You will be okay.
I have had HS for over ten years now.
However, that has changed and there are now so many resources and tools to help you.
I would suggest looking for a support group either locally or on social media.
This will help when you have questions or are looking for suggestions on things such as bandages.
It is nice to talk to others who know what you are going through.
If you do not feel comfortable with your doctor, get a second opinion.
I would also like to remind you that YOU are your own best advocate.
It is important to help yourself as much as possible.
With HS there is no single solution that applies to everyone who suffers from the condition.
If you do not feel comfortable with your doctor, get a second opinion.
If you do not feel comfortable with the side effects of a medication, say so.
Do not be afraid to speak up for yourselfyou are valuable and deserve the best.
Do not be afraid to talk about your condition.
It is important to know that there will be ups and downs with HS.
Do not be afraid to talk about your condition.
Do not feel guilty.
You did not do anything to cause this.
Remain hopeful because more is being done every day to help people like you and me who have HS.
Your friend,Fellow HS Warrior
