The person behind it
Not a doctor. Affected myself. And I know how you feel.
I'm Timm, 39. At 33 I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. Six years of antibiotic cycles, new wounds again and again, no way out. In the end came the verdict from the university hospital in Hamburg: only a large-scale operation can help now β cut out tissue on both buttocks down to the muscle, months of open wound healing. And even if it succeeds, the risk remains of living with lasting restrictions afterwards. In that moment I said no β and took responsibility for my own path.
Today I work as an arborist & tree climber β every day up in the trees of Hamburg. But my roots are in software development. And that's exactly why my path grew into more than a book: Germany's first interactive HS protocol you follow online β a protocol that works with you, instead of sitting on your shelf.
Because reading alone doesn't heal. Doing does. And doing needs structure, daily data, and a system that learns from your numbers.
