Exercise

Hi

?I'm always tired. I feel constantly exhausted and I put it down to my under-active thyroid, even though I've been on medication for that for 5 years. I actually never thought it could be due to the HS. I'd really like to hear if other people with HS have exhaustion! I've never before heard that it's one of the symptoms of HS. 

Hi I have had HS for many years but fortunately nowhere near as bad as some.  I do feel tired a lot.  But I also am in my 60's now,  have copd and depression so I put it down to that.  I never thought of HS as a cause of it but who knows?  x

I'm wondering now if there's even more to this damned condition than i realised.

Yess, some days I feel so drained I car hardly pry myself from my bed if it wasnt for my back pain, I wouldnt get up at all. I think it must be because our bodies are trying so hard to fight.. itself. 

I get them under my breasts occasionally, it used to be a lot worse. I find that the areas affected change occasionally. I used to get alot between my buttocks, that stopped, then I got a lot under my breasts, that stopped, then my underarms and groin- where I am now. 

I find keeping the area dry is the most important thing for me. Have you thought about maybe putting a few paper towels under your breasts? I would put them folded in half where they are sticking out under my bra too. to help keep everything dry if I know i know i will be sweating a lot. Same with my arms, If I feel like I am, or will be gooey I ususally have tissues under my arms, looks silly, but it helps.
