Fallacies

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

Yesterday I got an email from who claimed she had found her

trigger and it was " stress " . I can empathize with anyone who thinks

stress is their EN trigger. I too noticed a correlation between stress

and EN outbraks. But there have been times of extreme stress that did

NOT bring on my EN. I think if we are honest with ourselves we will

observe that this has happened. We may have just been happy to have

" avoided an outbreak " and not even given it a second thought. But I do

think of those things, and I am sure many of you do too. And were

there not times when EN flared without any noted increase in stress

level? I have seen that too.

I try to be as scientific as I can be in all research matters, and

especially with EN. EN is so much more complicated than many more

common disorders. If it were simple it most likely would have already

been figured out. Yet here we are not much further advanced than we

were 100 years ago. Science has forsaken us. And we have not stepped

up to the plate to make ourselves heard.

There is now a way to contribute to EN Research specifically. This is

something that NEVER existed before. You can all make history. You can

make EN research happen by dontating through NORD to the " erythema

nodosum research fund " and by using GoodSearch internet search engine

specifying " erythema nodousm research fund " as your charity.

It will help us to think more clearly when we make assertions about

our own EN and when we read any scientific study.

Wishing Everyone a Happy and Painfree Day!

Love,
