I had spent time refining the content, ensuring it aligned with the vision I had for this new iteration of my newsletter. But as I scanned the email after sending, I noticed something: it read “Vol. 1, Issue 5.” A minor mistake. One that, in the grand scheme of things, didn’t change the value of the email.

“I’ll sleep when I am dead.” This mantra has been said by many military members, civil service providers, and blue-collar workers throughout America for many years.

We’re all prone to the occasional bump, rash, zit, or ingrown hair. These issues generally go away after the blocked follicle, clogged pore, or minor skin irritation resolves.But hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is different. HS is a chronic, progressive skin condition that typically appears as boil-like lumps in some of your most sensitive regions (and beyond).HS lumps or bumps can form interconnected tracts underneath the skin…
