* Urgent Update * (8/31/2021) I have difficult news to share. I met with my surgeon yesterday (8/30/2021). I have been suffering immensely from severe surgical complications from my first surgery on July 29th 2021 for my hidradenitis suppurativa in my groin. As some of you may know from my previous updates here, I am having multiple reconstructive surgeries of my groin, labia, and thighs to combat my stage three hidradenitis suppurativa. It is extremely painful, isolating, costly, triggering, and extensive. I now must have a complete reconstruction of my first largest incision - on my labia. I have been septic multiple times from continued, chronic abscesses in my incisions. Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, autoimmune disease with no cure. The surgeries I am having are to mitigate the progression of the disease and hopefully extend my lifespan. Things are not going well. I am developing antibiotic resistance over the times between my surgeries. I am not ok. This is a terrifying place to be. I am in excruciating pain. At the start of my surgeries, my surgeon hoped they would slow the progression of the disease process, but they are not. My surgeon stated yesterday that it will not be a 3-4 surgery process, but an ongoing - lifetime battle of continued surgeries to remove the diseased tissue. Please send me your support and comfort. I need it. I am facing these surgeries alone. I have no one here to physically be with me. All I want is a hand to hold and arms to embrace me as I cry. This so, so painful and exhausting. Thank you for reading and being a friend to me. You make a difference in my world. ➡️ Go Fund Me link in BIO: www.gofundme.com/HelpHannahSoar #givingtuesday #sepsissurvivor #hydratinitissuppurativa #skingrafting #trigeminalneuralgia #chronicpain #autoimmunedisease #surgery #emergency #chemohair #sickandtiredofbeingsickandtired #spoonielife #butyoudontlooksick #suicideawarness #invisibleillness #spooniewarrior #fundraising #Paintudes #painrelief #facialpain #spoonies #neuroscience #actuallyautistic #baldisbeautiful #braintumor #gofundme #raredisease #chronicallyill #strongwoman #ptsdawareness (at Eugene, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTQlpmJlnMq/?utm_medium=tumblr
