Opis

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is one of the most foul skin conditions to ever afflict mankind. It is not contagious. Nor is it fatal. Except in cases of suicide. Constant pain, limited mobility, lack of compassion and understanding - among many other effects of this malady - are enough to make one suicidal. The cause of HS is unknown. There is no cure. Though millions worldwide are afflicted, few people know about it. And that includes medical professionals. Primarily affecting women and African-Americans, HS is not on anyone's priority list for research. This is the story of one woman's ongoing battle with Hidradenitis Suppurativa and its devastating affects on her life. Written by someone in the trenches, it is a realistic account of the ravages of this illness. Portions of the proceeds from book sales and merchandise sales are dedicated to establishing the HS Fund to assist those devastated by HS and to support research for a cure.
