Support the HSF Mission: Advocate

Advocate for and promote the interests of those who suffer from HS by encouraging those with HS to be their own best health advocate and to:

  • Seek medical treatment without delay.
  • Talk with a doctor about current treatment options and insist on appropriate and timely pain relief.
  • Discuss feelings of anxiety and depression which is common to HS.
  • Seek support from friends, family and co-workers. Find understanding and relieve the tension of feeling alone with HS.
  • Write a letter to local media and/or locally elected politician/parliamentarian and include the HSF Information Kit. Discuss relevant issues, such as a lack of medical and specialist facilities in the area, or financial barriers that must be overcome in order to receive appropriate and timely health care.
  • Promote the idea that in order to support patients and families with HS, governments need to make HS a public health priority.
