[Guest guest]

Dear Margo,On behalf of all our members, welcome to our Erythema Nodosum Group! Thanks for sending in your Questionnaire. I have added your 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 ALL EN Group emails, and you can also go to the Erythema Nodosum Group Site :http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/erythema_nodosum_Group/ whenever you like by logging on with your Yahoo ID and secret password.You do not have to have the group emails delivered to be a member here.I'm guessing you have had the usual medical tests to try to find the cause or trigger of your EN. I find that rest, [especially bedrest] is essential for me to get over an EN bout. I understand, however, how hard it is for most of us to get rest. I have never used meds for EN--just rest, and compression stockings. Welcome to our Friendly Group!Love,Idiopathic EN since 1968*******Margo Nussbaum's Case History9/14/061.
