Welcome, New Member /Case History/ RA and EN

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

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.

If you are receiving Special Notices 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.

I see you have Rheumatoid Arthritis. We have other members with RA who

have stopped getting EN once the RA was put in better control. Perhaps

a change of RA meds would help. I am not convined you have EN as it

" shouldn't " scab. In any event we all take similar meds so we can

still help each other. Welcome to our Group.

Love,

Thanks for the welcome ,

Had a biopsy about 3 years ago which confirmed that I have EN ,

scabs only started to appear after I changed drugs sulfanzine to

predisolone, about 3 months ago, blotches starting to slowly clear

up but still swelling of ankles and knees.

Take Care Jim
