I have had joint pain and saw a rheumatologist he stated it was part of HS. They prescribed me methotrexate,
folic acid and remicade infusion. Has anyone else been on this?

I was also referred to a Rheumatologist - he advised HS is autoimmune disease. Skin fighting violently to get rid of infection. Cost me a fortune and put me on Imuran . Supposed to shrink the inflammation- Didn’t work much. Same as antibiotics- then back to bad
