Is there anyone out there already on Humira (it has been 7 months), that has started to feel exhausted. Kind of happened all of a sudden.
Lynnette, Yes. Prayers 🙏 for all.
Does the medicine alone keep you from flaring? If so, what medicine and what are the side effects if you have experienced any from the medication?
I'm Retired Federal Employee. I think that's expensive but I pay $5 a month for the meds which I think is good.
I am so sick of living with this condition, constantly have some sort of a flare going on and am willing to try anything at this point!
The 'flares' are usually so much worse around the time of menstruation, do you think if I applied this Makuka Honey for a week while I'm on my period it would help stop a flare or at least calm it down?
Is it best to apply the honey directly to the skin or to a dressing before applying?
What has helped the most as far as oral medications go and which biologic has helped the most as well?
Hope so Aimee! 🙏🏾 😊
Baz how long have you had HS? Why are the bumps so big? Have you tried a diet or some green juice I feel that helps me with my flare ups
Cynthia, I am on the keto diet and have no active hs.......basically no sugar and no carbs...(no potatoes, pasta, breads and rices)....just meat and veggies.

I currently have a flare and go to the doctor tomorrow. I’m almost sure they will recommend antibiotics. Several years ago I got a bad colon infection (c.difficile) from taking antibiotics and have had IBS and other gastro problems since then. I was wondering what other people’s doctors are saying about being on antibiotics long-term and gut health. Do you use probiotics regularly?
Does Humira cause fatigue?
Yes I does, one of the things the Pharmacist made me aware of before I started
Today my heart was broke. I went to a 'new to me' dermatologist. I had my previous out of state records sent. My journal from my last two flare ups. And was ready to talk business. The doc selected 'Does HS studies/research'... I knew I just had to be in the right place
The 1st nurse was super nice listened, looked, took pics (i have has in my groin, so it is uncomfortable to show people). The PA, looked, heard me say the phrase HS, as I checked my dates on my journal she stood up and said Im… read more
