@jessicaruth3: Living with HS is FREAKING HARD! This one is for the warriors who just need that good shower, cry alone. For the Warriors, who have amazing support systems and families, but can still feel so alone sometimes. For the Warriors, who are so strong, but can still sometimes fall apart when they’re alone. You can be so grateful for the life that you have and still have bad days where the pain just takes over. You can be strong and still cry. It’s ok to not hold it together all the time. Today is one of those days for me and I feel such bad mom guilt because it’s my son‘s birthday. I just had a really hard day but tomorrow is a new day and it’s gonna be a good one. If this is you right now, just know you’re not alone! . . . #hs #hswarrior #hidradenitissuppurativa #hsjourney

girl I commented on a video of yours some time ago. I was at my wits end with this disease and was just looking for community wherever I could find it. decided I had enough and visited my dermatologist to referred me to an HS specialist here in dallas. I had both underarms grafted and a full breast reduction that took me from an h cup to a c. I am 8 days post op from grafts but its been 2 months of surgeries and struggling. I am happy of the decision I made and am just working through recovery to get my life back. I sincerely recommend seeing looking into Thrive Reconstructive Surgery. thats where I went in plano and am so thankful.

My Ica girl, it is always ok to cry when you need to. It doesn’t mean you are weak or less of a person. It means you are human.
