What injections is everyone on? What works for you? How long did it take to work?

I’m in stage 2 and currently 3 months into simlandi and it is working but not fully. Just curious what others use.my doctor recommended consentyx as our next approach if needed, does anyone have experience with it? Did you find you got sick easier, contract a serous illness?

I take Humira and that took me from stage three HS to early stage one.

Yeah lymphoma was the cancer I remember the prescription pamphlets were warning about.

I know when I was looking into options, I was told Humira could cause certain types of lymphoma...I opted to go with a cocktail of rifampin (a really old antibiotic that was used to treat tuberculosis) and clindamycin...both were pills...I also had clindamycin as a topical that I still use to this day when I start to see a flair up. Aside from the scarring and an occasional bump...I'm fairly clear.

@A myHSteam Member interesting, no pharmacist, nurse or doctor has told me it can cause cancer, what kinds have you heard it can cause?

What are you taking now?
