Yet the other day we had a 14 yr. old young lady join and now your daughter who is even younger. You are correct that EN can return. I've had EN for 37 yrs. myself with remissions. I am considered to be idiopathic as no cause has ever been found, and except for EN I too am pretty healthy. Still we can help with looking furhter for the trigger that caused the EN in the first place and give you our experiences of how to deal with outbreaks and stay in remission.Welcome to our Friendly Group!Love,*******Kyla Fawcett's Case History 5/3/061.
