just got diagnosed… i don’t know how to feel
19m, i just came back from my doctor’s appointment, he took one look and poked around a bit and said that it was HS.
i had been suspecting that it was that but hearing it from a doctor made it feel a lot more real. i’m already physically disabled due to multiple chronic illnesses but i don’t really want another disability under my belt.
i’m just conflicted because i can treat it now but also that means i was right and that it’s real. if that makes sense. obviously it was real and was happening before but now the label is confirmed and it kind of feels like a timer is ticking down now.
thoughts? support? i just feel a bit lost.
