After four long months I feel so well!!!! Just waiting for the bruises to go.

[Guest guest]

Hi all

Just wanted to say that it is so great to feel well. It was a long

four months of being in pain and having legs covered in lumps and red

raw patches. I keep running up and down the stairs now cause I can

and it doesn't hurt!!!

I am so sure that my outbreak of erythema nodosum was brought on by a

reaction to minocycline antibiotics. I've been off them for months

now and my nasty sore spots are back, right now my chin looks like

I've fallen on it, but hey! I'm painfree! Got to look into another

way now to cope with the spots cause they are nasty when they

breakout.

Only thing I'm waiting to clear up now is the bruises all on the

backs of my legs and front of my thighs. They have faded but are

still there and cover most of my legs. Anyone got any idea how long

these take to clear? I've started to wear my skirts again now and I'm

sure people must wonder what I've done to my legs, but after you've

had the nasty huge red lumps the bruises when painless are nothing in

comparison.

I so do not want a repeat of this condition. I think if ever my legs

ache a few days on the run I'll start to panic.

My thoughts and best wishes are sent out to anyone who is coping with

this condition, it's something I'd never heard off and most people I

speak to haven't heard of it either. This site has been such a help

in getting to understand and read about other people with the same

condition.
