Another dermatologist appointment today, and another biopsy. Positive I want it to be negative. Get yourself checked...

Reflections on illness after showing this morning:
.
.
So, I just finished showering and checking the infection and applying antibiotic ointment to it. I may need a script for diflucan filled. Yeast overgrowth also causes my to flare, and I expect that my gut biome is taking quite a hit with this blast of high dose .

I wish I could have many of the sources of probiotics that everyone in the group recommends, but, I CANT HAVE DAIRY! ahhhh! Or , or a lot of the ingredients that are mixed in with those health beverages. I can't have because of the and yeast in it. I can't have any amount of yeast. I can't even have grain. Any kind of grain, except for oats in moderation (I make it plain with a bit of stevia -honey + a splash of oat milk).

I been eating the same food for breakfast since 2018. Oatmeal. Sometimes yellow fin tuna packed in olive oil.

My grandpa also had oatmeal for breakfast for over 50 years (he proudly would tell me). A small bowl of UNSWEETENED, UNBUTTERED OATMEAL without milk, a small glass of orange juice and a diner-sized mug of black coffee. FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS. He was in the best of health, but, he also didn't deviate from his "same foods".

My dad, in contrast, had the worst bowel problems and cysts that were so bad, I heard him howling in the bathroom with my mom when she would drain them herself (she was a nurse during Vietnam and delt with a lot of wound care). My dad chain smoked, ate foods he was allergic/sensitive to (for example, he couldn't have dairy but ate ice cream anyway), and he NEVER DRANK WATER, only soda pop and coffee! The only way my dad would drink water, is by mixing several tablespoons of sugar with it 😭 My mom would yell at him to stop eating all that "crap" because he would cycle through periods of illness that he would have to power through in order to go to work every morning at 4:30, as a dispatcher for HoneyWell.

This is all in inner city Cleveland, near the LTV steel mills, mind you. It was a toxic environment that all of us in Cleveland had to endure. Just about everyone around me had some sort of skin or metabolic issue. Oh, and kidney disease ran rampant in my neighborhood. (Cleveland Clinic did research on our population, btw, but hell if we actually got medical care for it.)

So, anyways, I just think it's awful how a lot of the info on HS and what causes it makes it seem like it's all within the power of the individual to control. That's only minimally true, when a lot of the factors are depending on racial disparities, socioeconomic class, gender status, marital status, genetics, and where someone lives, and more factors I can't even imagine yet.

are huge factors of HS, but no will write about that.

Ok, I have to go now and rest more.

Thanks for making it this far 💜🙏

This is my Connor. He has an disease called . His immune system is attacking his skin and he gets scabs and blisters. His is amazing, she put him on Ointment which is helping him so much. He has more hair now than he has had in almost two years. And we've been able to cut his medication in half. He was on a high dose of it was a wonder he didn't become diabetic. He is a happy boy!

Hi all, I am finishing up a postdoc at Stanford focusing on for healthcare, with interests in fairness, explainability, and deployment. Previous to this, my PhD was in genetics with a particular focus on genomics and pharmacogenomics in understudied populations. To combine these interests in the future, I hope to use multimodal data to solve problems in healthcare. I am also a board certified and see patients when I’m not doing research.
