Do you also have malaise, a flu like feeling and painful joints as well as fever? The natural progression is for EN is to get worse before it gets better, and it can take weeks to many months to clear up. I know it is frustrating. It can test your patience. Be sure to get tested for alpha-1 ATT Deficiency . It can cause Asthma symptoms as well as liver involvement. Love,idiopathic EN since '68********1. Your name and age:32 2.

first noticed a sore small bump next to my shin about 9 months ago and

thought I must have bumped me leg into something. Within a month it got

larger and turned red. I now have 3 knots on my right leg only that

turn from a red lump to a bruise. They never go away they just fade in

and out flaring up once a week. 6.List any other health conditions. Hepatitis C, Asthma 7.

State what medications or treatments you take for EN, and their

effectiveness: my doctor has not suggested any kind of treatment. He

suggested waiting to see if it gets worse. Well of course its going to

get worse. Its done nothing but get worse. Very fustrated with my

doctor. Going to another doctor for a second opinion in 2 weeks. 8.
