Hi All

I  was diagnosed in November last year when I was 17.5st. I’ve now lost 2st and still losing and my HS has gone completely!! Apparently it is heavily linked with something called Metabolic Syndrome, in short it is carrying excess visceral fat (stomach) which clogs your organs and sends out signals to your immune system that something is wrong, your immune system reacts with inflammation. 

All I’ve done is exercise and eat right (diet high in vitamin A...not sure if that’s got anything to do with HS going away). 

To other sufferers who think weight/visceral fat may be the problem, it gets better when you get fitter! There are diet tracking apps that can help.

Please feel free to message me if I can be of any help to you, I know what you’re going through but trust me it gets better!
