Does Anybody Else Experience Fatigue And Weakness During An HS Flare?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve had HS symptoms for about a year but was diagnosed about 6 months ago. I’ve noticed that every time I have a flare I feel run down, my body hurts, and I just want to sleep. Does anybody else experience this?

Are you taking iron? Because with HS it tends to drain you!! Keep your iron intake up!!!

Has Anyone Tried Medical Marijuana As Part Of A Treatment Plan?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

My worst triggers are meat/dairy and stress mixed with heat/humidity. I have anxiety and depression which I have medical marijuana to help with, it's VASTLY reduced my outbreaks, even when I don't eat the way I'm supposed to.

Where it is grown is important. Marijuana plants clean the soil of toxins, old pesticides etc. The plant uptakes the toxins. They considered growing it to clean up toxins in agriculture areas. Rice… read more

Has Anyone Here Had Their Vitamin D3 Levels Tested?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I had my first instance in my underarms in 2016 and had surgery to remove. I had my Vitamin D levels tested then and they were in the "severe deficiency" range. I've been taking supplements ever since to get my levels up but haven't been so consistent lately with it. My next flare up happened a few months ago during the Covid lock down (under a lot of work stress) kind of in the groin area but seemed to clear up quite quickly once I started taking my Vitamin D3 everyday again. Has anyone else… read more

Not A Question, Just An Article I Read
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I read an article online, not on this site, saying that Abbvie has had a patent on Humira for 20 years. Normal patent is usually 7 years. It was saying that some biologicals would be available soon. They named Rinvoq and Skyrizi. I don't know if competition would raise or reduce costs?? A company called Amigen was mentioned. Just thought it was interesting and wanted to share

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

Well here we go a little while back I had to spend a couple of months in jail it was due to a DWI I had gotten yes I know I'm a bad person for that. I just read a article about white lie's that's what made me think of this.
