I've been on Metformin for over 10 years. However it was prescribed for my diabetes. Contracted this beast about 4 years ago..,
If you two metformin you still have to eat low carb and low fat because if your pre diabetic or diabetic the sugar will eventually rise even in the medicine.
Yep, that's the worst time for me too. I hope that combo works for you. My side effects were horrible. Best of luck to you!đź’“
Heck no. Your going to mess up and make it worse
Dr. Kimball mentioned Hormonal Treatment for HS instead of Antibiotics. Would Hormonal Treatments be recommended for older ladies or for men?
Fatima, Do not know the answer. I took Vivelle patches till age 50 after my hysterectomy. It might would help. My h.s. was not as bad while on them.
I lose and gain, lose and gain. I just lost 6 lbs. But last 3 days been on an eating bender I guess because it is a holiday. Everything is closed so I stocked up on lots of food which began to tempt me. Once I had chips and pie I just blew it bad. I never keep those things in the house normally.

@LumpySometimesBumpy can u explain Clarisonic to me . Sorry I'm so new to actually learning and trying to truly understand HS .
I'm starting to notate everything I'm eating daily. I eat Ice cream year round. I eat Bread, almost all vegetables, a lot of different fruit, Seafood, Chicken, Beef, and Turkey. No Pork. I drink Cold Drinks sometimes. What's a good diet for HS? Am I doing ok with listing what I'm eating? Where to get a Nutritionist?
@A myHSteam Member I hear you and I am so happy you have found your answer. I just don't think that will work for me. I was also told that it was an internal thing. Most likely an inflammatory… read more
I shot my 5th does of Cosentyx today (so 4weeks treatment), and I've seen no change. Looking for any info on duration, vs. severity, and if there is any hope, because I am so desperate.
I am in the same boat but we can paddle together. ^_^ try to stay as positive as you can. I know how hard it is. I really do. My right armpit is the worst atm. See what a little more time does. I take… read more
