17-year-old HS patient

Hello.

Try getting in 250 ml of water 1 teaspoon of turmeric, make this as tea,teice a day. Use zineryt on your cysts

Having HS is really hard. We can all agree on that. Unfortunately not enough research has been done for doctors to be confident in giving advise and prescribing the right pills. I'm so sorry you're going through such a hard time. But don't let it rule your life! You are better than this stupid condition. Maybe try seeing a different doctor? I hope things get better for you soon. 

Hello Maria,

I feel your pain. I also have PCOS and HS. Im 41 and have had it for about 29 years. I found the best treatment for me was birth control, spironolactone, and laser treatment. The birth control helps with ache and regulates hormones. The spironolactone helps thin unwanted hair and the laser also removes hair and keeps the HS at bay. I was at the point of having surgery when I finally found laser. And you have to fight but you can get it approved as medically necessary so insurance should cover it.

On a side note if you snore get checked for sleep apnea as it is common in women with PCOS.

Best of luck! Life will get better I promise just stick to your guns and make the doctors work for you!

Thank you All, I’ll try the things you’ve suggested. On a different note, Ive been on all different kinds of birth control and metformin as well as I’ve had radiation. I wish it was easier 

Hello I have HS and had PCOS. My period use to be irregular and I would get really bad flare ups. I decided to do my own research  since nothing the doctors were giving me worked. I even took birth control and stopped it because I would get my period twice a month.  I’m started taking tumeric pill from GNC a year ago I have not got any flare up in a year. I also started eating better and getting my period every month till this day and I no longer have PCOS. I old small womb do still open and drain a little  every time I’m about to get my period but it’s nothing bad. Hope this helps stay strong God gives his battles to his strongest  soldiers .
