    iv had hs for 6 years and was recently told it is not a disabling ilness so im unable to claim full benefits but there can be times wen im laid up for months unable to move with a nurse calling twice a day

    Does any one know if its worth claiming disability allowance for this illness?

    Have you tried giving up dairy foods? there is a very strong link between milk and hs sufferers. i gave up any foods that contained milk or milk products and ive been cured for about 10 weeks now, i am amazed and it feels like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders, my hs was bad, and i got fed up with being turned awaytime after time from my gps, so ive done my own research and its payed off, if you like i could send you some info from a proffeser i met online, some interesting stuff. you have to sacrifice you cheese andall the nice foods!! but a small price to pay to rid of the \" Pigs\"..
