DON'T BE EMBARRASSED TO ASK YOUR QUESTION !You might be surprised.

A few days ago someone asked a question that i was to embarrassed to ask the response was amazing and i then wished i had asked it months ago when i first joined the site.

DOES ANYONE ELSE SUFFER FROM SORE BOILS?

This problem has been ongoing for many years on and off my docter told me its nothing to worry about then gave me a dose of antibiotics when it kept happening i was put on long term antbiotics with a blast of stronger ones when the big painful one would pop up. i was told its my hormones becouse i am over weight. i took that response as gospel and just thought i was unlucky becouse they kept coming back. UNTIL TODAY i went to my docters quoting the name HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA as thats what most people were told they had then one person quoted a medication CLINDAMYCIN PHOSPHATE LOTION my docter then turned round and said why not it fits. so i came home happy ( lets hope its right.)

That's brilliant news dobby , I really hope it helps .

I was scared to post about my embarrassing problem too but found so much helpful advice and info that it prompted me to visit my GP today and insist on a referral to a gastroenterologist .

It's difficult posting about personal stuff, but sometimes it can really help .

Hugs for you and fingers crossed this treatment works for you .

This site has a lot to answer for. It is giving us confidence and freedom to ask a range of questions that we would keep to ourselves if it were any other group. A group of Fibros talking the nitty gritty. It is so good to see it empowering us fro a change.

I thought a number of my symptoms were just me, sadly it's most of us.

It shows there is a desperate need for the "official"Fibro list of ailments to be updated.

I wonder how we can get this info fed into it?

Gentle hugs and power to all. Fi xx
