Hormonal Treatment
Dr. Kimball mentioned Hormonal Treatment for HS instead of Antibiotics. Would Hormonal Treatments be recommended for older ladies or for men?
Well it’s my surgeon 👨⚕️ that is working for me he has cut the one armpit open and removed the hs devil 👿 🔫 and now he has the other armpit to do the left one ☝️ and then the groin one ☝️ if the hs devil 👿 🔫 doesn’t die but I am letting him win 🥇 the hs devil 👿 🔫is going to lose and I have already sorted his time of death 👿🔫
I have had this since I was 28 and I am 57 now. So, no not a cure. I think there we are such a small percentage of the population that it has not been researched enough. Some doctors say it is due to our sweat glands not working correctly and some say it is hereditary.
I like reading your post Baz, and I agree. I do not think metformin would help it.
I pray for a cure.
I told my dermatologist I was terrified of the horrific side effects of Humira, so he put me on Spironolactone 100 mg which is helping tremendously
Camille, So glad metformin is helping you loose weight and glad you are taking the supplements also that help. We are all fighting a very bad disease that has no mercy. Now, I need to get the nerves up to quit smoking. I am slightly overweight too, probably from sleeping too much due to depression.
It also helps with weight loss and for those like me with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, it can be a huge help.
Studies also show that Metformin can help with weight loss and other conditions.
All I know is that my skin is looking much better, I’ve been in remission since Aug or September, and I’ve lost 55 pounds since last May.
It’s also a known fact that smoking and obesity can exacerbate HS-
It is also a known fact that diet plays a HUGE ROLE.
I have SIGNIFICANTLY changed my earring habits- no ice cream, no chips, limit dairy as much as possible except with low fat smoothies for the most part.
I’ve eliminated night shade foods 90% of the time, and watch my sugar intake.
Metformin doesn’t work for everyone but it has for me.
I also continue taking my regular meds for other health (physical and mental conditions), as well as Turmeric, Zinc, Viramin D, a probiotic, and when I remember to purchase it, Vitamin A.
