How many people have full time jobs ? I work 40 to 50 hours a week.
I read this post and wonder how people have time to do all this stuff and work full-time

Folks, HS is an embarrassing disorder! 🙄 Sometimes being blunt is all you can do. When you have HS in your pelvic area, there's not many ways to say how to treat the area without being blunt and sounding somewhat obscene. 😒

Lynnette2.........I've had HS over 40 yrs.......I couldn't afford time off work, so I used to bandage with lots of gauze. Padding helps with the pain. I used to try my best to ignore the pain, and I think now my brain has got used to ignoring, and I can actually block the pain!! Hugs

Shane there is mens underwear and I have wondered how it might help men with HS in their groin. Look it up, it's called SAX mens underwear....to be blunt, they have a pocket that holds your balls...lol.....I have wondered if they would help keep them away from your skin????

Shane, HS is literally a disability recognized by the ADA, and Social Security Administration. If you have to stop working, or need accommodations in order to continue working, this is to your advantage. You have certain rights because HS is a recognized disability! 🤗
