Welcome, New Member, amygehrls [amy@...]/Questionnaire

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

Please join me in welcoming our newest member,Amy from Iowa Falls, IA

who has joined us because:I am 42 yr old, recently dx with sarcoid,

have EN on my legs

Thanks for sending in your questionnaire. I will add it to our Member

medical History Files on the group site and post it below. You now

have full EN Group privileges.

You are set to receive Special Notices EN Group emails.

In addition you may access the Group site at:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/erythema_nodosum_Group/

and logging on with your Yahoo ID: " amygehrls "

and secret password.

We are an active group, so if you want the emails to stop, PLEASE LET

ME KNOW.

We have members with both sarcoidosis and EN. From all my reading,

when EN presents as an early symptom of sarc., the sarc. often will

run its course within 2 years. I hope that is the case for you.

Welcome!

Love,
