πŸ€” πŸ˜‘ I tell you what get the medical professionals to ask this unlucky woman πŸ‘© who is American πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ and see what she says about it if she can talk πŸ—£οΈ with them because of the terrible situation and pain she is in πŸ‘‡ 😒
What a shame and I thought πŸ’­ I had it bad πŸ˜‘πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Proof well I have a article lorry πŸš› worth of proof no problem about that one ☝️
And how does HS effect our everyday lives well for a start of
What life
and think πŸ€” about it here in the uk πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ you are talking to people who are not even medically qualified when they do PIP and ask you question πŸ™‹ after question πŸ™‹ and just ask in several different ways to try and catch you out
And remember doctors πŸ₯Ό and even scientists πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ don’t know enough about our condition so tell me how on earth 🌍 you are going to ask a professional medical person 🀣 you find us all here a professional in HS is the same day I become a rocket πŸš€ scientist πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ 🀣
HS is a chronic illness and unfortunately when you get a you have it for life there is no cure for it and the only professional person who knows how it effects you is the same person you see when you look πŸ‘€ into the mirror πŸͺž looking πŸ‘€ back at you
That’s the professional we teach the doctors πŸ₯Ό even they don’t have a clue πŸ•΅οΈ or if they do they know very little about what we have got
So in other words you can argue it because they can’t really πŸ€” say much to you anyway but they will be looking πŸ‘€ at how bad you do have it that’s more like the answer to the question πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

- Detailed medical records
- Documentation of how HS affects daily life
- Statements from doctors about the condition's impact
- Proof of symptoms and treatments Many people find the disability application process challenging, but don't get discouraged if initially denied. Consider seeking legal assistance, as many myHSteam members have found this helpful. It's important to ensure your doctor properly documents all your symptoms and their impact on your daily activities.

Remember that while waiting for benefits approval can be stressful, many people with HS have successfully received disability benefits.
