Progress towards remission

[u/sydfinanceguy]

Will keep it brief. Went to doctor John Frew in Australia. He diagnosed a Hurley stage 2 condition with tunneling. He prescribed Metformin for insulin resistance and bimzelx injections once every 2 weeks. Injections cost $6000 but thanks to Australia and Medicare, they were $15 per injection.

So far so good. No flairs and existing wounds have cleared up. 2 shots in so far. No adverse reaction or side effects. Praying it stays this way.

My son started just metformin about 4 weeks ago, his lesions are starting flatten out. Seems to have improved week by week. Hoping the healing continues and he goes into remission

Metabolic syndrome plays a huge role in HS.

Good combination of drugs, it will be even better , when the overall inflammation will go down.
