Welcome, New Member, Claire Young/Case History

[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.

You are receiving Special Notice 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 illustrate the problem of taking steriods. So many of us have had

similar experiences. The best treatment I have found is bedrest if you

can spare the time. We have gotten quite a few new members from the UK

lately, and we welcome you all to our Group.

Love,

*****
