Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Hi All,

I was diagnosed with Crohn's diseases in 2002 along with HS and the fistulas. I've been dealing with this on my own and not really looking for advice and support, but this has become such disturbance to my life both physically and emotionally that I needed to find a place to ask people questions. Do any of you all suffer from Hidradenitis? What types of treatments have you sought? Aside form surgical drainage of the abcess I haven't tried anything and today I discussed with my Dr. about have them removed surgically. He basically said that I can't, that they will come back or that if he were to remove the 'tracks' that it would leave huge openings to heal. Any advice, information, guidance or anything you can offer would be great. I really am in such pain and need to find something to better the situation, some way to deal so that I can have as normal a life as possible.

Thanks! Mandy
