Not A Question Just Letting Go
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I really don't know why I'm even posting this I guess I'm just comfortable here on this site I consider y'all my friends.

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.

No way.......I have sent some to California where it's legal, but also the UK where it isn't?? I don't think it's trafficking if it's free!

Does Anyone Feel Tired All The Time?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

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?

All the time, and I use ice packs too, life savers.

Has Anyone Looked Up Staphylococcus Areus Infection?.
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

It might surprise you to see the symptoms of staphylococcus areus infection, I believe doctors are wrong about origin of hs just Google this bacteria, I've been told it's what caused my hs by doctors years ago, see what you think.

Matthew 2, I took doxycycline in different doses, but think I also became immune. It no longer helped at all. Asked for Bactrim and it did seem to help, but still not completely cleared.

I prefer Summer because the cold weather makes my bones ache. I try to stay cool though. I use a neck fan outside and wear loose, cotton clothing. I've just never liked cold weather.
