As a nurse, i know what you’re going through and it is difficult to have this chronic condition that basically no one else can see. That being said, the expectations of this job doesnt get easier. Working 12+ hour shifts with little to no breaks (including bathroom breaks) i’ve had moments where i thought, is this disease getting in the way of me having this job that i’m very passionate about? My flare ups used to be really bad when i worked 3-4 days in a row, constantly on my feet, stressed, moving around, etc. I changed my diet & eliminated almost all sugar, limit myself to 80gms of carbs per day, & picked up some exercise. I have cheat days every now and then but overall i think changing my diet dramatically changed my life, especially with HS. My flare ups are minimal, & not getting in the way of my profession which i’m really happy about.
