Sometimes I put my HS experience in a neat package or nutshell so as to cut down on any unnecessary cause for concern …but today I’m granting myself permission to be completely transparent.

The past couple days, I’ve been oozing blood clots and clumps of pus from the hole in my lower abdomen. HS is a bloody disease, so it doesn’t alarm me, but I did just have a “really?!” moment when I went to check the area and came back with my fingers covered in blood clots and pus. This mess is a bit much!

Currently taking tumeric… cinnamon.. And oregano oil. I think I need to observe if any of those supplements may be contributing. Who knows?! I’m telling you, you have no idea what it takes to function as if you’re normal when you’re so abnormal. Like yeah, I think I’d trade this mess for a number of other conditions. Less messy ones!. BUT, I’m still pressing on. I’ll never lie and say it’s a good day because I woke up or say I’m doing good, because as long as this is my reality, those are lies and I don’t lie. I do however fight, fight to endure and not give up.
