Is there a way of handling HS without going to the doctors?
Posted , 10 users are following.
I haven't been diagnosed yet but after doing some research I'm sure that I have HS, I don't have health insurance so going to the doctors isn't really an option for me. I've had cyst/boil's popping up in my groin region since I was 15, It wasn't till I was eighteen where I had a large boil flare up on my armpitt. I drained it at home and that was extremely painful, my mother told me it's because I'm overweight and don't shower enough. I've increased the amount I shower a day to 1-2 days and have been cutting down on my weight but it still hasn't helped. It has been such a strain on my life and has left me very depressed, is there a way of getting rid of HS without going to the doctors?

I am 30 and have had HS for seven years but was diagnosed only three months ago. I'm in stage three and it is depressing. I have read anything possible on how to live with it ever since i got a name for it. I was our on isotretinoin but I stopped after month two ended because the side effects were too consuming. I have tried turmeric with black pepper, emuaid, apple cider vinegar, baking soda and I must say they have helped with the pain but all my buttocks and inner tighs are full of flare Ups now. I read somewhere t cell therapy - oral tolerance to herbs (I have no idea what that is) works. I'm far off in Africa and it's kind of difficult getting someone to talk to who understands. My mum thinks it's spiritual and she doesn't even believe the diagnosis. I just had an IgE done and awaiting results. It feels quite a relieve to be able talk about my fears here. Sometimes I feel it's going to kill me. Now I can barely sit. I have tried food elimition but it's ineffective cuz where I'm from, gluten and nightshade is all we have, basically and going off them requires huge financial commitment. I have tried lettuce, cauliflower,cucumber and sqaush but they leave me feeling more hungry and weak. I am also very skinny. I know I'm writing a lot of rubbish... I'm just lost and want something that helps
