Humira Question
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

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.

To All Who Are Taking Meds...
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

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've Ordered Some Manuka Honey (MGO 525+) - Has Anybody Got Good Experiences With This?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

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?

Has Anyone Had Gastrointestinal Problems From Using Antibiotics For Hidradenitis?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

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?

A myHSteam Member
