am so grateful that the first dermatologist I went to was able to properly diagnose me with this disease, while being so kind and gentle.

You are supported and trust me, this won't stop you from living your best life!

You’re not alone! If you talk about your diagnosis other HS patients can find you.

It was there that I met people who understood that there are illnesses that can be painful that you can’t always see.

If I could say anything to a fellow HS hero who was struggling I’d say to take it easy.  HS can be difficult at times and it takes time for some wounds to heal.

In your darkest moments, it's hard to remember the best ones. If you're asking why you, first ask yourself if you wondered the same whenever something really good happened?

I would like to do things all the time without having to sometimes cancel plans. I try to stay positive by taking some self-care days 3 times a week and listening to music.

HS has taken a lot of me but my passion for dancing will never be one of them! 

"A positive experience I’ve had that was related to my HS was when I met with other HS patients my own age and it was a beautiful experience of learning and sharing."

"Good times never seem to last, so you can be sure as hell, the bad times will not last either."
