HS and Me

It has been less than a year since I was diagnosed. Before that I was told a lot of different things. That it was my skin, that it was acne and the most hurtful, that it was because I was fat. Yes, I am overweight and this was crushing to me! I suffered another year before heading back to the dermatologist, who remembered me and told me what I had, and that there was medication for it. You can imagine how happy I was and am still but for the side effects. That's why I am here. To find out how others are coping.
