Welcome, New Member Suze/Case History

[Guest guest]

Dear Suze, 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. Here is a link describing a connection between Scarlet Fever and EN: http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic1947.htm And I am sure you know that strep. infection is one of the most common caruses of EN. So for you it is no mystery why you get EN. and we will help you with treatment options. Welcome to the Group. Love, PS: Please join me in raising money for the "Erythema Nodosum Research Fund" by searching the Internet with GoodSearch: http://www.goodsearch.com/ Thank you! **** Suze's Case History 1/1/06 1.
