Lost and Found: Barry’s 20-Year Journey to Diagnosis
In this powerful episode of the HS Brotherhood, hosts Joey and Parish sit down with Barry from Ireland — a man whose decades-long journey with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) reveals the pain, misdiagnoses, and perseverance it takes to find answers.
Barry shares how he went nearly 20 years without a proper diagnosis, enduring countless surgeries and stigma, before discovering not only his condition but his purpose as an advocate. Together, they discuss resilience, the evolution of treatment, and how speaking out can inspire others still living in silence.
