  • Update on My Hidradenitis Suppurativa Journey.

      22 June 2026

    Thank you to everyone who has supported my donations page and followed along on this journey. Your kindness and generosity mean more than I can express. Not much has changed since my last update. I’m still dealing with regular flare-ups that bring pain, swelling, and the daily challenges that come with HS. Some days are better than others, but the condition remains persistent. Even so, I’m more determined than ever to keep pushing forward. I stay extremely dedicated to researching treatments and exploring every possible path toward a cure or long-term relief. For me, staying active in the search for solutions feels far more empowering than sitting around and dwelling on the pain. Action gives me hope, and hope keeps me going. I believe real progress is possible with continued research and better awareness. Every contribution helps fund appointments, treatments and resources that bring me closer to that goal. If you’re able to donate or share this page, it would make a real difference.

    Even small amounts add up and remind me I’m not fighting this alone. Thank you again for your support, patience, and encouragement. I’ll keep updating as things develop and continue to fight for better days ahead.

    With gratitude Scott x

  • Extending close date.

      21 May 2026

    I’ve extended this page because I’m still living with painful Hidradenitis every day. On top of that, my doctor has now told me I’m at high risk of heart attack and stroke. It’s been a tough period, but I’m doing my best to manage it all. Thank you for your ongoing support, it really helps. 🤍

  • Please share my cause.

      25 March 2026

    I wish I could just to go back before Hidradenitis Suppurative took my normal life away from me. Before I had to endure so much pain. Before I had to wear plasters to cover my wounds so blood and puss didn't leak on my clothes. A day before I lost all my friends because I had to stay home and self care. I've lost so much of my freedom so I simply ask for you to share my page. A simple share is a sign of care. Thank you. God bless.

  • Quick update from me

      24 February 2026

    Hey beautiful souls who support me through this journey—I've been so depressed lately, I've been completely bedridden for the past 4+ days with one of the worst flares I've had in a long time. The pain is relentless; even the tiniest movement to walk feels like pure agony. Abscesses, inflammation, tunneling, it's all hitting hard right now, and honestly, I just wish HS didn't exist at all. It's not fair. I never asked for HS, wish I could live a normal life, It's exhausting, isolating, and breaks my heart a little more each time. But even in the thick of it, your donations, messages, and quiet presence mean everything. They remind me I'm not fighting alone, and they help cover meds, wound care supplies, specialist visits, and the little things that make these bad days slightly more bearable. Truly, from the bottom of my heart: thank you. Your support is literally helping keep me going. I wish I had a cure for this life ruining condition. I miss having freedom, I miss working with the elderly and disabled. I loved my old job. I miss socializing and having friends, I miss not having to wake up in pain. Life is very unfair to the best of us. I'm still holding on to hope that a cure will be found and that I can get my life back the life , my dignity, my pride, that Hidradenitis stole from me.

    If you're able and feel called, any continued support on the donation page helps so much during these rough patches. No pressure at all—just know it's deeply appreciated.

    Much love

    Scott

  • New painful lump

      25 January 2026
    Main image

    Hey everyone 🤗

    I hope you're all doing well.Unfortunately, I’ve got a new flare-up under my arm. I’ve attached a photo, but honestly, the picture really doesn’t capture how big the lump actually is—it’s much more noticeable in person.On a different note, I recently had the stitches removed from my biopsy site. Sadly, the experience with the nurse wasn’t great. Instead of being gentle (as she should have been), she yanked them out quite roughly—almost like plucking eyebrows—and it caused the wound to reopen. I’ve submitted a formal concern to the practice because I worry she might handle other patients, especially children, the same way.Thank you so much for sticking with me on this journey. Even though this is a lifelong condition, I still hold onto hope that one day we’ll find a real cure for this awful disease.I completely understand that times are tough right now and donations have slowed down. But if you’re able to help in another way, simply sharing my page would mean the world to me—it helps spread awareness to a much wider audience.Sending you all kind regards and so much gratitude

  • Stitches

    I forgot to mention I got 2 deep stitches and 8 small ones. Can't wait to get the results. I'm extremely optimistic and believe it will come back as Benign. I just want to put the mind to rest. I deal with enough pain and blood and puss as it is. I really don't need cancer added to the list. Prayer are always welcome.

    Much love

  • Just a quick update

      30 December 2025

    Hi all, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas spent with family and loved ones. My Christmas was a nice quiet one spent at home with my best mate and my pets. Though I was fortunate to get out and go to Midnight Mass.

    Today I wanted to share a quick update with all of you – I finally have a date for my biopsy: January 12, 2026.

    Thank you so much for the love and support you've already shown me. Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers as that day approaches. On a brighter note, I'm excited to announce that I'll be releasing my very first single 'Holy light' on YouTube on January 1, 2026! I'd truly love for you to listen and share your honest feedback – it would mean the world to me. Thank you again for being there through this journey.

    Love & Light

  • I forgot to include a picture

      12 December 2025
    Main image

    Hi everyone,

    I have been very sleep deprived since hearing the potential skin cancer news that I forgot to include a picture of the side of my face along with my latest update. I am still nervously waiting to hear when I can get a biopsy done. With my doctor expressing her serious concerns that it maybe skin cancer I've really hit an all time low. As if living and dealing with Hidradenitis wasn't enough as it is.

    Please keep me in your prayers and send healing energy this way. I'd be incredibly grateful.

    I will make a new update once I've had a biopsy done. Until then, please stay safe this Christmas.

    With love

    Scott

  • Health Update (and a gentle plea for good thoughts)

      11 December 2025

    Hi everyone . I’ve had a pretty heavy week with the doctor. I recently had blood tests, and the results came back showing very high cholesterol for my age. My doctor says it’s most likely genetic and that I’m now at high risk for a heart attack or stroke. I’ve been started on Atorvastatin, which I’ll need to take for life.While I was there, she also checked a lump on the side of my face that’s been worrying me. She’s quite concerned it could be skin cancer. She took photos and has urgently referred me for a biopsy, but with Christmas so close, everything slows down and I’ll have to wait a few weeks for the appointment. Just the news you want heading into the holidays, right?So that’s where things stand. I’m trying to stay calm and keep positive, but I’d really appreciate your prayers and good thoughts right now.Wishing you all a beautiful, peaceful Christmas filled with love and light.

    Thank you, as always, for being here with me.

    Lots of love

    Scott 🕊️

  • Still Fighting, Still Grateful,Held Together by Your Generosity—And Reaching Out Again

      20 November 2025

    To everyone who has ever donated, shared, or sent a kind message: I think about you constantly. Your generosity has literally kept me in biologic medication, paid for wound supplies, and given me months to breathe instead of panic about medical expenses. I will never be able to say thank you enough.

    The truth is, HS hasn’t slowed down. Stage 3 is still Stage 3. I am fighting as hard as I can, cutting every corner. I’ve cut back on everything that isn’t survival. I haven't even brought new clothes in over 5 years or gone and done any social activity. And still the cost of staying on top of it never drops—medication, specialist visits, travel, supplies, and the specific diet—especially now I can’t work. I am still needing help.

    I budget tightly, but I’m coming up short for the next round of treatment and supplies—the things that keep this from spiraling completely out of control.

    If you are in a position to give again, even $5 or $10 truly adds up. If you can share this page with one person who hasn't seen it, that is just as huge. If all you can do is send good thoughts, I feel those too. I hate asking, but I’m still here, still pushing, and so incredibly grateful for this community that has carried me further than I ever thought possible. Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring.

    With all my love and gratitude,

    Scott.

  • HS Update & A Special Thank You

      8 October 2025

    Living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a rollercoaster. Some days, the pain hovers around a 4/10, manageable but there. Other days, it spikes to a full 10/10, making everything a challenge. I’m so grateful for your support over the years—it’s meant the world. As a huge THANK YOU, I’m excited to share a snippet of a song I’ve been pouring my heart into. I hope it resonates with you as much as creating it has lifted me. It’s been a while since I’ve received donations, and HS pain relief treatments can be costly. If you’re able, please share my page to spread awareness about HS and help me connect with others who might support this journey. Every share or small donation goes a long way toward managing this condition. With all my love

  • Updates for my Journey with HS and Raising Awareness

      6 July 2025

    Dear friends and supporters,

    It's been some time since my last update, and as I lay here in bed unable to sleep due to pain I wanted to open up about my ongoing journey with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). After a period of managing it well, my condition has flared up intensely, bringing significant pain and challenges. The financial strain of weekly expenses has made it difficult to afford prescription pain relief, which has been tough to navigate.

    I deeply miss my work as a caregiver, where I had the privilege of supporting the disabled, elderly, and those in end-of-life care. Transitioning from being a provider to someone who now needs assistance has been a humbling and surreal experience. Yet, I remain grateful for the incredible support you’ve shown me since I first shared my story.

    Your generosity has meant the world, and I’m not here to ask for more. Instead, I humbly invite you to share my story to raise awareness about HS—a condition that affects so many in silence. By spreading the word, you can help shine a light on this chronic illness and support others facing similar struggles. Together, we can foster understanding and compassion for those living with this relentless condition.

    Thank you for your kindness, support, and for taking a moment to share this message.

    With gratitude,

    Scott

  • Update on my life with Hidradenitis

      10 April 2025

    Hey everyone,

    Just wanted to give you a quick update. I’m still battling Hidradenitis, but I’m doing okay—pushing through the pain and refusing to let it define me. This week, I even took Bailey to the beach, which felt like a small win. Donations have been quiet for months, so if you wouldn’t mind sharing my Give a Little page, it’d mean the world—more awareness and support could really help.

    This condition stole a lot of my freedom, but I’m making the best of it. I’ve turned tough days into something positive—teaching myself to sing and create music. My first album is 50% done, all by me, beats included. I’m so proud and hope it’ll inspire others.

    Managing this alone is rough, though. Food costs are brutal, and my $55 budget after bills doesn’t cover the fruits, veggies, and meat I need to stay on top of symptoms. I’ve had to drop my Tilray prescription since it’s not funded and I can’t afford it. Your past donations have been a lifeline—thank you, truly. Much blessings to you all. If you can share or chip in, it’d help me keep going strong.

    Thank you.

  • Health update: Navigating Life with Hidradenitis Suppurativa

      1 February 2025

    Dear Supporters,

    I wanted to share an update on my journey with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. The condition continues to be a daily challenge; I'm still experiencing leakage and managing pain, though thankfully, it's under control for the most part.

    Living with this condition has significantly impacted my mobility, leading to a lot of time spent at home in isolation. This has unfortunately meant losing touch with some friends and missing out on social events, which has been tough. However, I've been making the most of my time in solitude by exploring various organic foods to help manage my symptoms. I've found that sticking to a natural diet helps keep both inflammation and pain levels down. While this approach does alleviate some discomfort, it's not without its challenges. The cost of maintaining this kind of diet is substantial, and it's a struggle to keep up with the expenses of such a basic, yet lonely lifestyle.

    In my downtime, I've also been channeling my energy into creating music. I'm excited to announce that I will be releasing a few songs in the coming year. This project has been not only therapeutic but also it's a way to connected to something despite my physical limitations to keep my mental health in check, preventing me from falling back into deep depression

    Thank you all for your continued support and understanding. Every donation helps me manage this costly lifestyle and keep my spirits up.

    Warm regards

    Scott

  • Happy New Year

      1 January 2025

    Happy New Year, everyone!

    As we step into 2025, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who has contributed to my journey with hidradenitis suppurativa over the past few years. Your support has been a beacon of hope in what has often been a very dark and challenging time filled with pain, hospital visits, and isolation.

    Your donations have not just provided me with the necessary resources to manage this condition but have also given me the emotional strength to keep fighting for a better quality of life. Although this past year has seen fewer contributions, your continued support has been invaluable, and I remain incredibly positive, thanks to you.

    I wish you all a year filled with joy, health, and happiness. Thank you for being part of my support network; you've made a significant difference in my life. Here's to a new year of hope, resilience, and mutual support.

    With deepest thanks,

  • Please share to raise further awareness 🙏🏼

      23 November 2024

    I'm writing to share a challenging update about my journey with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). The changing of seasons have unfortunately triggered a severe flare-up, leaving me with major painful, draining lesions.

    Recently, I had a particularly distressing experience while out grocery shopping. A lesion ruptured unexpectedly, staining my clothes and releasing a strong, unpleasant odor. This incident was incredibly embarrassing and highlighted the challenges of living with a chronic, often invisible, condition like HS.

    For the past few months, I've struggled to manage these flare-ups, and donations have slowed down to the point of no new donations received for a few months now. If you could share my story to attract more attention, Your support would mean the world to me during this difficult time. Your contributions will help me cover medical expenses, purchase necessary supplies, and maintain my mental well-being and keeps me out of hospital and in the comfort of home.

    I know that times are tough for everyone, but even the smallest donation can make a significant difference. Your generosity will not only help me but also raise and gain awareness about HS and support others who are battling this condition.

    Thank you for your compassion and understanding. Your prayers are also greatly appreciated.

    With gratitude,

    Scott

  • September update.

      21 September 2024

    Hello everyone,

    I hope this message finds you all well. I wanted to provide an update on my journey since we last spoke.

    Unfortunately, it's been a rough period for me. I recently experienced a severe flare-up in my lower region, and to make matters worse, a new lesion has appeared in a particularly sensitive area. It's been incredibly challenging both physically and emotionally.

    Due to financial difficulties, I haven't been able to maintain the all-natural diet of fruits and vegetables that was crucial to my progress. This setback has significantly impacted my recovery efforts.

    I continue to hold onto hope and remain determined to find relief for my Hidradenitis. Your past support has been invaluable, and I humbly ask for your prayers and encouragement during this difficult time.

    Thank you all for standing by me. Your kindness and understanding mean the world to me.

    Warm regards,

  • Finding Strength in the Struggle: A Heartfelt Update

      19 August 2024

    I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to update you on my journey since our last communication.

    Firstly, I want to apologize for the delay in reaching out. Over the past month, I've faced some significant challenges with my health, leading to some real low days. Despite this, I remain steadfast in my commitment to finding relief for Hidradenitis through natural products.

    While I haven't received any new donations recently, I want to assure you that your past contributions have been crucial in allowing me to continue my experiments. These efforts have yielded positive results: my flare-ups are less frequent, inflammation has decreased, and my overall pain is more manageable.

    Though the road ahead is tough, I continue to hold onto hope and remain determined to push forward. Your support and belief in my work have been invaluable throughout this journey, and I am deeply grateful for your ongoing encouragement.

    Thank you once again for standing by me. Your generosity and support mean the world to me.

  • This setback will not diminish my spirit.

      19 July 2024

    Dear Donors,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for your generous contributions over the years. Your support has been instrumental in my journey to experiment with natural products, such as organic fruits and vegetables, in the hopes of finding relief for Hidradenitis.

    Through these experiments, I have been able to create various pastes and lotions. While a cure remains elusive, I am pleased to share that I have made significant progress: my flare-ups are less frequent, inflammation has decreased, and overall pain has become more manageable. These advancements would not have been possible without your generosity and belief in my work.

    Unfortunately, I must share that my health has taken another challenging turn, and I am currently experiencing a great deal of pain. However, this setback will not diminish my spirit. I am determined to continue fighting, even if I do not find a cure or achieve a pain-free life. My perseverance is fueled by your unwavering support and belief in my efforts.

    I'll fight forever until the day I die.

    Thank you for being a vital part of this journey.

    Your support means more to me than words can express.

    With heartfelt appreciation,

      Good to hear that you are feeling better. Well done with your progress and courage to experiment. Take care

  • I wanted to take a moment to provide an update on my journey and the ongoing battle with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).

      20 May 2024

    It's been a while since I last shared, and I believe it's important to keep you all informed about how your generous contributions are making a difference in my life.

    Living with HS has been incredibly challenging. This condition has severely impacted my mobility, preventing me from working and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. The physical pain is relentless, but it's the mental toll that often feels the hardest to bear. I dream of a cure, not just for the sake of alleviating my pain, but to reclaim the basic joys of life that so many take for granted.

    I long for a future where I can pursue my dreams of having a family, finding love, and experiencing life without the constant burden of this illness. The scars, the abscesses, the daily draining of blood and pus, and the unpleasant odors are all parts of my reality that make it difficult to lead a normal life. These aspects of HS can be incredibly isolating, making it hard to connect with others and feel accepted.

    Your support means more to me than words can express. Every donation brings me one step closer to finding effective treatments and, hopefully, a cure. Please continue to share my page and spread the word. Together, we can make a difference and help me achieve the normal, happy life I yearn for – one where I'm free from pain and able to love and be loved.

    Thank you for standing by me and helping me in this fight. Your kindness and generosity give me hope for a brighter future.

  • Back in hospital and Feeling frustrated with the health system.

      13 April 2024

    It's disheartening to find myself back in this situation so soon after just being released. Dealing with Hidradenitis is incredibly challenging and unpredictable. I strongly believe that the government should fund all necessary medications and pain relief. Without ample financial resources, individuals are left to suffer needlessly. It's unfair that someone who has dedicated themselves to a career in healthcare ends up unable to work and live normally due to their condition. Relying on public contributions for essential treatment feels like a dismissal of the contributions made through years of tax payments, leaving me feeling undervalued.

    Sorry had to rant, I don't have people around to rant too.

    Please send your good energy thoughts my way. Hoping to get out of hospital tomorrow.

  • I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your donations and ongoing support.

      12 February 2024

    Your generosity not only helps me manage my pain levels but also enables me to explore different products and treatments in the quest to find a cure.

    Living with HS has been a challenging journey. For so long, I have been merely existing, trapped in the cycle of pain and discomfort, unable to fully engage with life.

    The journey with HS has not only taken a toll on my physical health but has also affected my relationships. I have lost friends and experienced betrayal from family who took advantage of my vulnerability.

    However, I am starting to find a newfound strength within myself to overcome the darkness that this condition has cast over my life.

    Though my skin condition still holds me back from being active outside of my home, I am channeling my energy and passion into creative projects. One such endeavor is "The Essence of Connection," a series of mini shorts that delve into the heart of genuine human connections. Through exploring themes such as self-love, real friendship, integrity, loyalty, and the distinction between authentic love and mere lust, I aim to shed light on the profound significance of these elements in fostering meaningful relationships. Hoping others can learn and benefit from it.

    I am finding the will to have somewhat of a life despite the obstacles and I am passionate about making this world a better place, one step at a time. Your continued support gives me hope and strength as I navigate through this journey, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

    I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to provide you with an update on my battle with Hidradenitis Suppurativa and some recent challenges I've faced.

    Lately, my Hidradenitis Suppurativa has been causing me a great deal of pain, making daily activities a real struggle. I had to make a difficult decision between prioritizing my pain relief and taking care of my car's Warrant of Fitness & registration. Given that I don't use my car frequently, mainly for essential tasks like food shopping, nurse, Drs,

    I chose to prioritize my health and pain relief.

    To avoid taking Bailey, my beloved English Cocker Spaniel, for a walk, I decided to drive her to the beach for some much-needed exercise. However, this choice had unforeseen consequences. I was pulled over by the police and fined $250. While they issued me a compliance notice, I'm struggling to afford even the WOF and registration expenses, let alone this fine.

    I want to express my gratitude for your ongoing support, both emotionally and, when possible, financially. These challenges are daunting, but your support means the world to me, and I'm incredibly grateful for it.

    If you can, any assistance, whether through sharing this message or contributing to my current financial situation, would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to offer support in any way.

    Thank you for being a part of my support network and for your understanding during this difficult time.

  • Heartfelt Gratitude for Your Support on My Hidradenitis Suppurativa Journey

      15 October 2023

    Your generosity and kindness have touched my heart deeply. The donations you've made have been a lifeline. They've granted me precious pain-free days, allowing me to give back to my community in meaningful ways. My favorite is strolling along the beach, picking up litter, and cherishing the simple joys of life. Your support has granted me these moments of freedom, which I treasure immensely.

    Moreover, your donations have enabled me to purchase healthy foods that help keep inflammation at bay. pineapple, raspberries, & pure organic orange juice, which has had a significant impact on managing my condition.

    Additionally, I've been able to acquire Thursday Plantation antiseptic tea tree cream, which has proven to be an amazing aid in managing my HS. Your donations are instrumental in ensuring I have access to the tools and resources needed to navigate life with HS as comfortably as possible. Every donation, message of encouragement, and act of kindness, no matter how small, has made a significant impact on my life. Your support has alleviated my physical pain & uplifted my spirit, reminding me that I am not alone on this challenging journey. I must be cautious not to overexert myself to prevent painful flare-ups and abscesses. Your empathy and compassion motivate me to keep pushing forward, one step at a time. As I continue to navigate the unpredictable path of HS your support is a beacon of hope & a source of strength for me. I am truly blessed to have you by my side.

    Thank you

  • My Deepest gratitude.

      4 October 2023

    Hello,

    I hope this message finds you well,

    I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to my Give a Little page. Your support means the world to me, and it brings me one step closer to managing and raising awareness about HS.

    Your contribution is not just a donation; it's a powerful statement of compassion and solidarity. Here's how you can continue to make a difference:

    Spread Awareness: Share this campaign with your friends, family, and on your social networks. By doing so, you help educate others about HS, raising awareness that is crucial to our cause.

    Financial Support: Your donation will directly contribute to covering my medical expenses, including pain medication and dressings. These are essential for managing the challenges of living with HS, and your support makes it possible.

    Advocate for Research: Join us in advocating for research efforts to find a cure for HS. By supporting research initiatives, we can work towards a future where HS is better understood and, ultimately, cured.

    Your continued support on this journey means everything to me. Together, we can make a profound impact on the lives of thousands of HS sufferers. I am truly grateful for your kindness and commitment.

    Thank you once again for standing by me and helping me make a difference.

    With sincere gratitude,

    Scott

  • Please have me in your Prayers

      6 September 2023

    Hi Beautiful souls,

    If you know anyone whom suffers Hidradenitis Suppurative please let them know that I have found that eating Pineapple everyday truly helps with the inflammation that Hidradenitis Suppurative causes. Again it's not a cure but does help alot. Unfortunately

    I'm currently out of the CBD oil that I use to keep my pain levels down so I'm experiencing such an awful amount of pain this week so please pray for me; to give me strength to keep fighting for my comfort and of course pray for magical healing.

    Take care

    Thank you

    Scott

      20 August 2023

    It truly warms my heart that so many of you care about my health and wellbeing. The kindness, care and support from people I do not know is such a blessing to me, one that I will never forget.

    The last 2 months have be such a pleasure to have lived through compared to usual and that was only possible due to your donations providing me with a better quality of life.

    May you all only ever be favoured, blessed and protected by Good energy.

    Much love and light,

    God bless

  • Thank you for some freedom

      28 July 2023

    I can't express my gratitude to you all for providing me with a somewhat pain free month. Although I still have the huge flare ups and am constantly draining puss and blood I can focus more not having to experience the total pain that comes with it. So Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've enjoyed walking around in the sun and picking up litter on my path. It's not much but it's one of many way I can give back to the community.

    Thank you.

    God bless you all.

    Love Scott

  • Making a difference.

      7 July 2023

    Hey everyone,

    Today I got out and went to the local beach and collected 2 bags of rubbish.

    Just wanted to say a huge Thank you as without your help I wouldn't have been able to do such an activity.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    God bless

      5 July 2023

    Hey Beautiful Souls,

    How do I even begin to thank you all for providing me with freedom. I am so grateful to you all, I got my prescription over a week and a half ago as give a little payouts are the following month of donations made in that month.

    I must say it truly works wonders with managing my extreme pain levels. Though it's not a cure for my condition and I still leak blood and puss in areas on my body on the daily and having lumps build up in places, taking this oil provides me with more mobility and less restrictions giving me the strength to do more things for myself without experiencing immense pain. It's kind of like local anesthetic but without being spaced out at all. I'm completely in control, It provides me a life. I can focus on doing basic tasks without feeling pain, for example brushing your teeth seems so effortless right, but for me doing that causes pain in my armpit(s), Depending on size of the flare It's like having a golf ball in your armpit and when you move it's feels like you get stabbed with a knife.

    So you can imagine what it's like for me showering, moving about vaccuming the house, general cleaning ect.

    Thank you for helping provide me with such freedom over the last week and a half my Spirits are lifted,

    I look forward to having a promising future and finding a cure for myself and anyone else suffering from this awful autoimmune condition.

    Have a wonderful and blessed day

    May God bless you and favor you all.

    Much love and light

    Scott

      21 June 2023

    Thank you all so much for the donations I received last month. I have just received the funds and I will be off to see my doctor at 3pm today to get more oil. Honestly I am so grateful. This means I can embrace this coming month knowing I am going to be in less pain. I'm so excited, y'all have no idea how big of a deal this is for me. The pain is just so overbearing majority of the time that I can't do anything, just getting out of bed to go to the toilet is a huge painful energy draining mission, But with this oil it gives me hope. It provides me with more freedom and a will to live. Because to be honest with you all, there are days where I just simply want to die.

    Each and everyone one of you holds a special place in my heart and I can only repay you by staying alive and fighting for a cure.

    God bless each and everyone of you.

    Much love

    Scott

    Just a quick update from the other day. Thank you for your prayers.

    Wow I'm blown away by the amount of support I have received over the last few days. From Donations and from truly touching messages. I'm so Overwhelmed. I am longing for a future where I don't have to suffer in pain daily, but thanks to your donations I can afford pain relief and also I can buy healthy groceries, which means I can experiment with foods and trail what helps and what doesn't , for instance I know cucumber and raspberries and pure orange juice are a great antiinflammatories and do help me alot however $7 for a cucumber ect is outrageous and I only get $80 for shopping after I've paid rent and my utilities bills so I truly appreciate all of your help.

    Though you don't experience Hidradenitis Suppurative yourselves I do feel cared for and i feel like I'm not going through this horrific journey alone any more so thank you so so much.

    Right now I'm dealing with a flare in my groin, and my armpits but my groin is making it extremely painful to walk. I'll upload a picture. Hoping it will burst today and not get any bigger otherwise it's off to hospital again for another surgery. Which is like a routine now. 😩 So please pray for healing 🙏🙏🙏

    Please don't forget to share my story, I really need a cure because the pain is unbearable majority of the time. Thank you again, I pray for each and everyone one of you.

    Much love and light

    God bless you all.

  • Gratitude

      3 March 2023

    They say when you loose everything, God is up to something, he has something great coming to you.

    Well I totally believe that my time is coming. I had a house flood and lost pretty much everything. And I'm still remaining positive. I have a bed and a tv and a sofa. It feels so strange restarting life again. Like a uni student haha.

    I mean I live everyday in constant agony with so much inflammation and blood and puss oozing out of my body on the daily except from the days where I have the CBD oil. That stuff is like my best friend. It helps relieve so much pain that I can actually enjoy watching a movie in comfort and not be constantly reminded of the pain. I live for those days, I really do. Thoses days are what I look forward to the most. A very simple life, don't get me wrong I'd love to be out swimming, rock climbing doing all those fun activities but my condition doesn't allow me to have that much freedom of mobility so on the days when I have the CBD oil I find so much joy just being able to relax and have full attention to focus on what I'm doing and not being constantly reminded of how painful and difficult my life is.

    Thank you for providing me with that freedom of mobility, it is wasn't for your donations I wouldn't be a strong willed as I am. You guys keep me alive. I can never not feel gratitude for the help you all have provided.

    Have a wonderful day and enjoy The month of March. Let's hope we get a delayed summer 🌞

    Much love Scott

    Hi fellow earth angels 😇,

    I hope you are all doing well.

    Finally back in my house. Lost a lot of furniture and sentinal items. My Dog is happy to be home, she's been shaved as she was really matted and I took her to get bathed. (Was extremely painful doing so with a huge flare in my armpit but I got through it) I will upload a picture of my Dog bailey.

    Hearing a cyclone is approaching. I really can't go through another round of flooding so praying that doesn't happen.

    My health hasn't been the greatest and the added stress from my home flooding has made me flare up more now than ever before. On top of this painful condition I am currently dealing with Major toothache on 4 teeth. Lord needs to provide me a break. Why do good people get to experience the hardships of life. I'm figuring out what I am supposed to learn from this.

    Please, I need all the love and support I can get right now. Please share my page where possible, I have two now.

    One for HS condition and the other is for support from the recent flooding.

    Love and light

    God bless

  • Flooding

      31 January 2023

    Hi all.

    I have a separate page for help with the aftermath of the flooding.

    Please could you share this new page.

    Currently living cramped in my car. On top of this painful condition. I need showering badly, I'm covered in blood and puss and my dog is in desperate need of a groom. She stinks and has got matted hair due to getting saturated by the flood. Bless her heart. Feeling helpless but things will get better.

    Please share https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-scott-recover-from-the-flood

    Kind regards and God bless

  • THE MOST POWERFUL HEALING PRAYER BY ST. PADRE PIO:

      16 December 2022

    Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me.

    I thank you for sending your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, to the world to save and to set me free. I trust in your power and grace that sustain and restore me.

    Loving Father, touch me now with your healing hands, for I believe that your will is for me to be well in mind, body, soul and spirit.

    Cover me with the most precious blood of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Cast anything that should not be in me. Root out any unhealthy and abnormal cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild and replenish any damaged areas.

    Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection by the power of Jesus’ precious blood. Let the fire of your healing love pass through my entire body to heal and make new any diseased areas so that my body will function the way you created it to function.

    Touch also my mind and my emotion, even the deepest recesses of my heart.

    Saturate my entire being with your presence, love, joy, and peace and draw me ever closer to you every moment of my life.

    And Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit and empower me to do your works so that my life will bring glory and honor to your holy name. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Amen

  • The battle is still ongoing.

      3 December 2022

    3 years ago I gained the strength and courage to be brave and exposed my biggest insecurity, my hidden painful skin condition I was hiding from everyone. I thank everyone that has helped share and spread awareness to #HidradenitisSuppurativa and for supporting me. It's an ongoing battle to find a cure but it's one worth fighting for! I am a warrior!!

    Please continue to share, the pain is unbearable at times, praying I will have a Pain free Christmas and getting the word out is so important to me in finding someone whom perhaps can find a cure.

    Thank you and May God bless you always.

    Have a wonderful and safe Christmas

    Much love

  • Hi fellow Earth Angels, I really need your help

      13 November 2022

    I hope everyone is doing well and getting excited for Christmas.

    I'm not doing too great. Been fighting infection after infection with constant flares all over my body, causing me to be so drained of energy and in extreme amounts of agonizing pain.

    I'm On the waiting list for yet another surgery, though I'm getting pretty tired of having surgery for it only to reoccur shortly afterwards.

    I understand that with this pandemic and extreme cost of living that everyone is in a difficult position.

    So I'm not requesting donations but instead I simply ask for your prayers in healing.

    The power of prayer is greater than one can imagine and I severely need all the prayers I can get.

    I believe that one day I will be able to live a pain free normal kind of life and I cannot wait for that day to arrive. I truly would never wish for anyone to experience the condition that I have to endure and I pray that those that do suffer from this painful, life draining condition that you shall all be healed in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

    Thank you.

    May God bless you all.

  • Your support means alot to me. Thank you.

      15 July 2022

    Thank you all, for your support over the past few months. These drops really do make so much of a difference to my life. Still hunting for a magical cure however these drops take my pain levels down from 9 to a 3 and being able to do daily activities such as showering and brushing my teeth, walking about, driving to my nurse and Drs appointments and going food shopping without being in complete agony has been a blessing. I'm starting to freak out as I'm running low on the drops and I'm dreading having to go back to suffering. Especially on top I have to move house soon. The stress is causing more flare ups.

    So I kindly ask if you could share my give a little page in hopes to reach further people.

    God bless you all,

    Have a heavenly weekend.

  • Thank you for your support over the last month.

      30 June 2022

    Hi everyone,

    I cannot express how grateful I am for your support, I've been able to have a really great month with minimal pain having being able to pay for the cbd medication. The condition itself is still here with some major flare ups in my armpits and butt, but this pain medication really helps improve the pain so much that I can concentrate on doing daily activities without being in excruciating amount of pain. I am forever grateful and wish you all the blessings that life has to offer. Have a heavenly day. God bless.

  • Your support has helped.

      26 May 2022

    Hi all, I hope you are all well, I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for you support. It has helped me through some tough times. Unfortunately I'm out of medication and can't afford more it's been a month and I'm in agony. Currently dealing with Both of my armpits that have flared up more and constantly draining puss and blood, my bottocks has 3 large sores and my groin is flared with small leakage. I'm feel very deflated and defeated by this condition and have been in full isolation since before COVID-19 was a thing! I honestly don't know how much longer I can take! I just want a cure so I can live a pain free normal life. I am currently on the waiting list for another surgery procedure ( this is just an ongoing cycle of draining which draines the pressure that is applied to my HS sores, it doesn't remove it, it just helps relieve some tension but not all!) So I'm so over living this life.

    Please do share my story to raise awareness for this horrific condition that is draining the life out of me.

    Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
