THANK GOD my husband found this site just in time! Reading all of your posts I had tears streaming down my face. HOPE! Thats what you all have given me. I started the Tumeric last night and am praying I get the same results that many of you have had. If this works like you all say, I will scream it from the rooftops, tell everyone I meet and show my Dr's my longest "finger" ;} Thank you all so much, my heart and prayers go out to you for all you have been through. I hope to be able to post some "happy" here in the next few weeks. Mwah!

I am so glad that this website was found for me. I have been suffering with HS for about 13 years now, maybe longer and was just recently diagnosed with HS. Unfortunately, I had already had the surgery before I look at this site. Since the surgery of removing nine of the "boils", nine more have come out, some even through the incision that were made to remove it! My mom talked to my uncle about it and he came across this "Tumeric" spice. He and my mom are going to make me a couple of batches this weekend and overnight them to me. He was told to mix the tumeric with baking soda and a crushed aspirin for the ones at the surface and then to add Vick's Vapor Rub for the really deep ones. I am so looking forward to this working! All of your stories have given me hope as I too thought I was losing my mind and using the "my leg hurts" to explain away why I was walking with a limp. Thank God for the internet and the fact that people share their stories!!! I will be back to this site regularly for support for me and to give mine in return!Replied By Apple2012 (Beijing, China) on 11/22/2012
This website is amazing! I have just this week been diagnosed with HS. I have had the day off work today because I have not been sleeping properly in the knowledge that I have some terrible condition without cure! Fortunately I have slept a lot today and feel a little better. I'm so encouraged to read about turmeric and other solutions. My problem is that I'm an expat living in China and access to foods and products is often difficult. I'm going home to the UK at Christmas and intend to stock up! My question to the women out there with HS is does your condition appear to be linked to your periods? I have boils that appear in my armpits like clockwork with my monthly cycle. Does this happen to anyone else? Last year I was diagnosed with a Staph infection in my nose and the nasal cream Bactroban seemed to get rid of the problem. The Bactroban cream no longer works and I'm confused as to whether I have HS, a bacteria infection in my nose, or both! Thanks in advance for your replies. I'm trying really hard to stay positive with this diagnosis.Replied By Ann (Montana) on 11/26/2012
Apple2012 from Bejing - Yes, definitely linked to my cycles!! Absolutely. I can't imagine life without turmeric. It's kept my HS essentially under control. I experiment with my use of turmeric. I at at least 1/8 teaspoon with black pepper to soup each time I eat it. Top ramen works for me- simple but true! & easy in a pinch. Warm milk with turmeric, black pepper, cinamon, cayenne, & honey is tasty & effective. I sprinkle it on eggs & avocados & experiment with anything I think it might blend with. I prefer eating turmeric with food rather than using capsules, personal preference, & it works well for me! Good Organic turmeric (I get mine in bulk spice section). If you try one brand that doesn't seem to do well don't give up, try another. Good luck!
