Hi All! 

I’ve been having a hard time these last few months with this disease. I’ve been to my dermatologist just as much as my pcp. I was thinking of going to the ER, cause I’ve been in such pain for so long and all the meds have not worked. Anyhoo, wanted to know if you guys go to the ER for your HS and what were they able to do for you if anything?
