For years, I suffered in silence, not knowing that the painful flare-ups I experienced had a name. Although I wasnโt officially diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa until 8 years ago, my journey started long before that.
This Hidradenitis Suppurativa Awareness Week, Iโm sharing my story to help break the stigma, spread awareness, and remind others that they are not alone. Living with HS can be physically and emotionally challenging, but our voices matter, our stories matter, and awareness can lead to earlier diagnoses and better support.
To everyone fighting this invisible battle: I see you, I support you, and I stand with you. ๐
