Im trying to figure out "what" is causing my mast cells to be triggered & keeping this inflammatory nightmare going. I dont smoke, not obese but i DO have chronic pancreatitis. I read that insulin resistancy can play into HS. Ive also had a problem with candida which keeps mast cells inflaming everything. So im curious 'if' my long time gimpy pancreas has caused a blood sugar problem thats causing candida and HS?

What injections is everyone on? What works for you? How long did it take to work?

I’m in stage 2 and currently 3 months into simlandi and it is working but not fully. Just curious what others use.my doctor recommended consentyx as our next approach if needed, does anyone have experience with it? Did you find you got sick easier, contract a serous illness?

Mine has been at 55 for over 12 months and has recently risen to 62, although no active abscesses.

I was diagnosed with a severe case of HS last week. I’m on oral doxycycline, topical clindamycin, and an acne wash. However I’m not and never have been a smoker or overweight. I’ve actually spent most of my adult years underweight from an eating disorder. I’m doing better now with the ED as I’ve just had a baby in September. I’m wondeting if the HS onset could be caused by hormonal birth control. I have the kyleena IUD
