What the petition asks
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Hidradenitis Suppurativa are common incurable illnesses that are dismissed due to the lack of understanding about why they occur and why the two are often found to occur together. The coping strategies fail many people or cause further illnesses as a result.
Antibiotics are often used as treatment for HS but this is not good enough when we are under threat of antibiotic resistance.
The pill is used as treatment for PCOS but doesn't seem logical when many women struggle to conceive a child anyway.
Despite being made to try a range of prescription medicines and treatments that may not help at all, we are not exempt from paying for them.
