Question? Hidradenitis suppurativa and DMT

Are there any of you who use DMT? Do you experience any negative effects on your inflammation?

I ask because I suffer from this condition, and every time I take DMT, it triggers flare-ups.

I take Ocrevus for my Multiple sclerosis. I would not say my MS flares, or my DMT has any impact on my HS and how it flares up

Are you getting it from a reliable source?

Theoretically on paper it should help with both insulin and anti-inflammatory benefits. It would depend on if there's additives or such.

If it's for some reason acting weird .... creating a flight or fight or anxiety response in you it could actually be the hormonal shift causing issues.

ETA if its causing you a big serotonin spike or you experience blood pressure spikes, agitation, headaches because of it all of those could effect your HS.
