Semi-new to MFP

katatak1

I joined about two or three weeks ago but I figured I'd go ahead and say hi! I started losing weight with some friends at work. We have weekly meetings and discuss goals and the troubles we face. All in all, it's going pretty well. I've lost 8 pounds total, and 2 pounds since joining MFP.

I was searching the groups, hoping to find one on a skin condition I have. Sadly it's not there. Does anyone else have hidradenitis suppurativa? It's a debilitating skin condition which results in the formation of abcesses in the apocrine gland regions (armpits, groin- basically the areas that get really sweaty with exercise). It's exacerbated by working out, and it's terribly depressing. The final phase of the disease often results in regular skin grafts. If anyone else has it, would they be interested in forming a group with me? I'd love to trade ideas for working out without casuing flare-ups!

Also, feel free to friend me
