I have been sick
I’ve been sick for a while and I had to be put in the hospital again. Yuk! I hate being put in the hospital. I have a condition known as HS (no not MS). Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It causes chronic pain and terrible scars and now I have had to deal with it for the last eight years. There is n such cure for it and very little research on it. I have had multiple surgeries for it and it just keeps on coming. It is about time that I spoke about it and stop hiding it. It has affected my life in many ways. It makes me depressed and I feel alone. I try not to let it bother me and live like I am as normal as the next person when in reality I’m not. My family has been by my side since it started, especially my husband and I love him dearly for that. But no one can fully understand what you go through unless they have experienced it themselves.
I haven’t always had this condition. It started when I was pregnant with my second child. I was about 3 months along. I thought it was just a little knot under my arm and I went to see my doctor beause it was painful. The doctor treated me for it and we thought that was it, then it began to get worse really fast during my pregnancy. Over a period of 8 years it has grown and moved from one part of my body to another. This will take so time to talk about . I will continue to share with you details into a very private and painful part of my world in several post. I hope that be opening up my world I can help somebody else that maybe suffering with the same thing or any illness. I just want people to know that they aren’t alone and they do not have to suffer by themselves. There are others out here who care. And I am one of them.
To be cont…
