If you haven't read Hidradenitis 1 &2, please do. Otherwise you'll be totally lost.
So another month and a bit of the new antibiotic has gone by. Another month and a half at least to go.
Vast improvement. Like fantastic. No open wounds at all. No swelling, no infection.
I've been slacking on using the topical ointments like I should. It's easy to forget now that it's so much better.
I'll always have the nasty scarring at this point. This will come back again. But I look back on the years (and I do mean years) of suffering and pain and infection and discomfort and wonder again. Why the hell did I wait so long to get treatment?
For right now, I'm taking my pills like I should. I'll start using the topicals again like I should. I did quit smoking(6 weeks now). The doc said hidradenitis is more prevalent in smokers than non and did suggest quitting. My sinuses are thrilled with me quitting. Only 2 sudafed since I stopped. Yay!
Keeping up the fight. I want to be healthy. I deserve to be healthy. So I have to make the choices to do it.
Wish me luck.
