It can be tough to know what to say when someone is ill or has a chronic ailment. I believe it is our instinct to try to’repair’ things. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, and we must accept that ‘it is what it is’.

I thought I’d share some of the comments people have made about my hidradenitis suppurativa – It can make you smile, roll your eyes, or think to yourself, “Yes, I’ve been there!”

You Have a Boil?

When I inform people about my sickness, the first and most vexing thing they say to me is “Oh, that’s bad.” They shout, “Oh, so you have a boil!” “I used to own one.” I then try to calmly and tactfully explain that Hidradenitis Suppurativa is much more than a boil! Even yet, I get the sensation that people think I’m exaggerating!

You can, at the very least, work.

The second thing you should not say is, “Well, at the very least you can work.” Don’t underestimate the sheer determination required to show up for work. It might be really difficult to deal with discomfort. Getting out of bed could be challenging. It takes time to properly select dressings and put on work clothes. Worrying about whether you’ll need an extra pair of trousers or shirt in the car might generate anxiety. On a poor day, it takes a lot of willpower to get out of bed and go to work. It can be challenging.

It’s just a skin problem.

The third thing you should avoid saying is, “It’s just a skin condition.” I would emphasise again that chronic fatigue can be devastating during a flare-up. You have no energy for daily activities and must stock the cabinet with convenience foods for days when you are unable to prepare.

But you’re happy!

“It can’t be that bad, you’re smiling,” says number four on the list. Let me tell you that HS soldiers are professionals at smiling in the face of anguish and sorrow, and that a grin does not indicate our happiness or misery.

I had no idea about that.

Finally, “there never used to be diseases like this, never heard of it!” is number five on the list of things not to say. At this point, I need to educate the general population. Many people suffering from hidradenitis suppurativa have a very private condition. Some people are severely embarrassed as a result of it. Even though I know I should, there are times when I do not inform my doctor. People are aware of HS because of websites like these that enlighten and educate, offer hope, and share solutions. I will keep educating and sharing until the sickness is completely understood!

There are surely a slew of other things you’d add to the “please don’t say that” list, and I’m sure you’ll hear them. We will educate the world together by offering assistance and sharing our knowledge!

Hydradenitis suppurativa is a cause of Kapha and Pitta dosha, according to Ayurveda. When the digestive fire (Agni), or Pitta, is out of equilibrium, the Kapha Dosha becomes vitiated, causing metabolism to slow down. Because of the disturbance of fat molecules, they begin to accumulate in muscles and obstruct physiological passages, resulting in painful, swelling sores in the groyne, buttocks, thighs, and armpits.
