Welcome New Member, Amy/Amy Grossman’s Case History

[Guest guest]

Dear Amy,

On behalf of all our members, welcome to our Erythema Nodosum Group!

Thanks for sending in your Questionnaire. I have added the information

to our " Member Medical History " Files on the Group site and posted it

below.

You now have Full EN Group privileges.

You are receiving Daily Digest EN Group emails, and you can also go to

the EN Group site whenever you like:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/erythema_nodosum_Group/

and logging on with your Yahoo ID and secret password.

You do not have to have the group emails delivered to be a member here.

I am surprised to not see Polycythemia Vera on our list of triggers

and causes as when I did a short search I saw both EN and PG mentioned

in the study. It appears to be a related disorder. I'm happy to know

you are getting bedrest. That is what helps me the most too. Welcome!

Love,

*******
