Heya!

Heya
What a site its nice to know im not alone with this horrid thing! I suffer on my armpits, boobs and down below. I try to make the best of things but sometimes i struggle just doing every day tasks.
I am currently applying for dla cause of my hs and back problems but not holding out much hope.
Hope everyone is ok and not too bad.

Hi Ria, Welcome to the site. This site is new, (only been online for a few days now!) Sorry to hear your struggles with HS. Makes us often wonder "why me?".

Have a poke around the site, many features are being added daily!

It is often said, a picture says a thousand words, yet do a thousand words constitute a picture?

Take pictures of the HS, often this is the most powerfull tool you can use to infrom the DLA adjudicator. (To be honest, I have no idea how the exact process works but hey ho!)

Could I ask how you found this site?

New Feature - If you go to the homepage and click on "Who Is Online?" near to the bottom of the page, it will show a map of the world with a little icon of the location of members who are online!

Hi Ria,

How are you?

It's really great to be able to talk and chat with other HS sufferers (although I would never wish this terrible illness on anyone) as it let's us known that in the bad times we are not alone.
I hope your DLA claim goes well, I am going to be applying soon but want to gather as much info before hand as I can. I already have a vast array of rather gory images which I intend to put on a cd and send in with my claim form, if that doesn't shock them nothing will!! lol.
Good luck.

Love Claire xx
