The connection between HS and feeling run down frequently may be related to chronic inflammation in the body. This underlying inflammation can affect your overall health and energy levels, making you more susceptible to feeling unwell. It's important to communicate these symptoms to your healthcare team, as they could be related to other health factors that need attention. When you notice patterns between feeling unwell and HS flares, try to reduce stress, wear comfortable clothing, and prioritize skin care. Consider keeping your schedule flexible when you start feeling symptoms to avoid pushing yourself too hard.
