I have been doing research on a more permanent solution for my HS and found articles saying that the flare-ups stop after you go through menopause. I am going to ask my doctor about getting a hysterectomy for this reason as I am almost 40 and do not want children. I am wondering if anyone else has had success with this? I tried hormonal birth control and it has been a nightmare. Almost a constant period and repeat flare-ups that I did not have before trying the birth control.

What's the most ridiculous thing at doctors ever told you what is it your skin disease outcome on a hospital visit mine was one time with a spider bite

I have heard that inflammation from flare ups can cause fatigue but my flare ups can take weeks to heal and by the time one heals I have another. I just feel exhausted 24/7 despite having good blood test results and wondered if anyone else could relate?

What foods normally trigger your HS and is a certain food more triggering for you to eat than others? For me right now it's potatoes but I'm watching for more.

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?
