Doctors don't know how to treat my H.S. anymore. I've ran through all of the options. The hope is to try to kill the H.S. with radiation. I'm almost always in a constant flare and can't handle it anymore. I guess this is Cleveland Clinics last dicth effort to try to help me before the decide to remove it all.

It must be something new I'm 60 years old I've been diagnosed since I was 11 and I never was involved in radiation doctors never mentioned it to me so maybe it's something doctors are trying or have been trying within the past five to seven 0years I haven't had to flare up in many years so I haven't been to the doctor about it but maybe its something they're trying
