Hey everyone! My name is Paige, I'm 22, and I've had HS for about 6-7 years. I am really active on this site and I love that there is a community of people here that support one another and give advice and share stories. Outside of this forum, I haven't been able to find a whole lot of places where people talk about HS. Recently I've been thinking about starting a YouTube channel dedicated mostly to HS, in hopes that it can raise awareness and perhaps build a community of HS sufferers on another platform. I was thinking of making informational videos, my personal story, tips and tricks, etc. What do you think about that? Would you watch videos? What would you want to see? If it's not stupid, channel name ideas? I think it'd be great if people could see that they're not alone and have another place they could talk about this disease, especially since there aren't a lot of videos about it. Let me know what you think!!

    I think that is a good idea. A lot of people, just like myself, look for information and support. So go for it. Good luck!

    This sounds great, I've wanted to do the same thing for awhile! I've only seen about eight videos of real people with HS. I don't have a channel but these were videos that I wanted to make.  My HS story, care tips, favorite OTC products, medications you've tried, traveling with HS, working with HS, School with HS, Dating with HS, hygiene with HS, how you told your doctor. These are all things that I've had to figure out on my own and I think could help other girls.  Explain what HS and that there isn't a mold for it. I am personally not overweight, I don't smoke, I eat a clean diet and have HS in my groin area. Every video I watched basically said you have to be those things to have HS and that's not true. Try the AIP diet for a month and video log it, and tell us are you seeing improvements. "HS with Paige" "Happily Paige"  "All About HS"  "Paisley Paige" "HS With Me"  I will try and brainstorm some more hahaha.

      Thanks for the ideas and support! I agree that there aren't a lot of videos and it makes it hard to learn a lot about HS. I'll let you know if I end up making some videos!
