This is going to be short. Yesterday, all day my under arm hurt on my right side. Later as I was getting into the shower, I discovered a large bump, angry and red in my right armpit and it hurt bad. I was just going to start my second round of medication in preparation for the colonoscopy. So I called the VA Hospital and they advised me to come in and deal with this and reschedule the camera going up my rectum. Fine, so I went this morning and the diagnosis is:* Hidradenitis suppurativa (also known as "Verneuil's disease"[1], "Pyoderma fistulans significa,"[1] and "Acne inversa"[1])
I got antibiotics, a topical solution and I am back in tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM to see my doc.
My arm hurts and I am blue. That will be all for now. Oh yea, my colonoscopy has been rescheduled.
Next post I will lay out the new diagnosis as I have been effected.
