I am learning a little at a time. My first bout with EN was 3 years ago and I finally got off Prednisone last Sept. Now I have had a new flare up starting a few weeks ago. I am a Crohns patient but have many other health issues also. This flare up is happening at a time when my Osteo arthritis is also flaring. I believe I am one of the few older people that this has happened to in their late 60's. I find your information most interesting and want to learn more. Sincerely,Edie Yahoo!
