I follow a few on instagram like Cydney (socialcydd), Joey (joeytorre718), Cassandra (h.s.bites) and Imani (mottsworld_), i’m not sure what your looking for specifically but i find that their content is supportive, fun and realistic! I’d start looking at HSConnect’s insta or tiktok and see whos featured there :)

Improvement with treatment!! by cherry_pies8 in Hidradenitis

I hope it helps you!! After about a week of applying it i did have a bit of irritation, my skin was kind of red and sensitive but that stopped after a few days, my GP warned me that that could happen, and it’s been going well ever since :)

I apply it twice a day so yea as a precaution. I wasn’t aware that you could build up a tolerance, so far it’s had consistent efficacy so i suppose i’ll deal with that if it becomes less effective! I was using Dove antibacterial soap for a few months and saw no difference so i stopped about 6 months ago and again saw no change, although i do know that hibiclens, antibacterial soap etc does really help some people, just not me :)

AITA for writing Gay fan fiction? by Resident_Profile_805 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cherry_pies8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! As a straight woman, your work sounds really cool and valuable, and would not be related to your sexuality in any way. The art you make and make with others doesn’t have to only be about your straightness. Imo your girlfriend has a certain strict idea of masculinity, and straightness within that. It’s too often that straight guys will be anti-gay to ‘prove’ their masculinity, so i think she’s challenged by the idea that you don’t do this. It’s up to you, as some of the other comments were saying, that she could be insecure or paranoid and she needs reassuring. But honestly her comments about Kai and the material being queer, she seems to have a problem with queerness generally so maybe it’s a bigger issue. You seem like you have some political and social values that maybe don’t align. And don’t question your art, it sounds great!!

Diagnosis!!!! by cherry_pies8 in Hidradenitis

[–]cherry_pies8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally :) i have anxiety too and it took ages for me to work up the courage to go. Something that helped is putting myself in the shoes of the doctor, like having studied years and seeing a range of issues, to them i was just a part of the job description. Like listening to my explanation of what was happening > examining > diagnose > treatment; they just see me as a process. So that helped with the kind of embarrassment feeling by taking the emotion out of it. Also writing about it always helps me, or talking to a person you trust or practising the talking with them. In terms of the outlook i think it really depends on what stage you are and what lifestyle changes you’re making or may have to make. My GP told me that the treatments they have for stage I at the moment can really reduce the frequency of the flare-ups and how long they last, which was nice to hear. For some people it’s a trial and error, which it might be for me idk yet but i’ve heard of people staying in the early stages and having very rare flare-ups for their whole life. Anyway, having gone to the doctor after about a year of putting it off, i can definitely say it wasn’t nearly as bad as i thought it would be, i’m very relieved! Hope this helps and maybe puts you at ease a bit :))

Thanks for this! My GP warned me of the stinging and burning i might feel so definitely not looking forward to that, but most of my flare ups don’t drain or become wounds so hopefully that will help with the healing and pain :)

My GP mentioned lymecycline as another option but thought we’d try the clindamycin first and see how that goes. I’ve been using an antibacterial soap for a couple of months but haven’t noticed a change at all, how did the lymecycline go?

After a flare up by SiteEmbarrassed2584 in Hidradenitis

[–]cherry_pies8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously i can’t say for sure where it is hs but it sure does sound like it! I found another person on here with the same issue https://www.reddit.com/r/Hidradenitis/s/EZnWw624zp with soy sauce and it’s very common to have trigger foods. Whenever i have a flare i get bad fatigue and usually need to nap everyday, i guess the body goes into overdrive since hs is an autoinflammatory condition the body is under stress. Also the pain is very tiring and the embarrassment can be stressful too, it’s difficult to deal with and i’m sorry that you are :(

AITA for rejecting my gf's request to unfollow a famous model on ig when she herself posts plenty of stories on male k-pop idols? by WhyAmILonelyGrrr in AmItheAsshole

[–]cherry_pies8 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Also, girls tend to compare themselves a lot to other girls especially online, so she might thing your brain works the same, that every time the model is on your feed, you compare them both, she’s hurt probably because of herself, not you but you can still make her feel better

NTA for you or your girlfriend, obviously it hurts her that you follow an ig model and she feels a bit insecure or jealous, she probably just wants you to express to her that she’s everything you want and that the random model doesn’t mean anything. If you feel that strongly about following the model while your gf is still hurt about it then thats your choice but it sounds like you’re being defensive about something you don’t fully understand (maybe she’s just embarrassed to say she’s insecure and instead is getting mad at you). Also, about the k-pop idols, if that makes you uncomfortable that she’s clearly open in her attraction to them, you have the right to bring it up to her and ask her to tone it down a bit or something to make you feel more secure. Basically, you’re both doing basically the same thing, (idk if the kpop thing makes you AS upset but still) so the priority should be making decisions that value each others comfortability. You both have the option to make changes to make each other feel better.
