A support group for those people in Australia and New Zealand who suffer with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. It is also open to their family and friends. HS is a horrible disease that affects more people than are known about - this group is a place to share information but is mostly for support. Welcome!

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one'".
C.S. Lewis



ADVERTISEMENT WARNING: This group strongly opposes the ads Yahoo has recently started including in some of our correspondence concerning a product that claims to cure Hidradenitis. Evidence is growing that this product, Colloidal Silver, is NOT a safe substance to ingest and there is absolutely NO credible evidence to back up the claim that it
will cure HS. Or even help it, according to the numerous HS sufferers we know who have tried it over the years. We are dismayed that our host (Yahoo) is allowing this false and potentially dangerous ad to appear in our group postings and feel it is our moral obligation to post this warning.

A thought for the day:

The Support Group
by Annette Warwick

We all have different problems,
Some great and some are small.
To have you all to share them,
Is the nicest thing of all.
When we are feeling all alone,
It's nice to know you care,
And if we need some advice,
The Group is always there.
Any worries we can ask
Don't hold them deep inside,
Talk to all your new found friends,
Let experience be your guide.
So if you ever need them,
Remember this is true,
They're always there to listen, they understand you too.
