Spring is officially here. It is currently 61 degrees.
This is a time of year when most people celebrate and look forward to the warming weather. I on the other hand can only moan and dread what lies ahead for the next 6 months or more.
Living with HS affects all areas of your life, including how you react to the weather. Warm/hot weather to me is HELL! While I do love warm weather, HS does not. And HS always wins! HS cares not want I want or what I would like to do or wear, HS is the most selfish beast!
I cannot dress in cute tank tops or sleeveless shirts, no summer dresses for me. I must remain covered to hide the boils that are constantly draining, the scarring that is hideous to look at and to minimize skin friction that causes even more boils. When I sweat more boils develop - so begins an endless cycle in the spring/summer of trying to stay cool, but enjoy the weather.
What a wonderful world it would be to be normal and enjoy summer.
