Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 HI, I just wonder if you have had a cat scan of your sinuses.I finally did for mine as i had recurrent infections that they feel contribute to my EN.I have a rare polyp in my maxiallry sinus that they are removing the end of May.Hopefully after that I will have less headaches..the EN will settle down and less sinus infections. I have had a cough and feeling like I had a cold for months and months and headaches. Just a thought on that. Donna EN for over 10 years Be smarter than spam.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hi Tina, Please continue your research into food sensitivities. Not one single food is listed as an EN trigger, and as far as I know the same holds true for PG. The most commonly identified EN trigger is strep infection, [and TB used to be a biggie too]. http://yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com/infection-amp-erythema-nodosum-painful-skin-\ nodules.html When it comes to autoimmune disorders, Sarcoidosis as well as IBD are possible triggers as is RA and lupus. With PG--correct me if I'm wrong, Jeff--about half the cases are idiopathic and the rest are associated with autoimmunity disorders like Crohn's. Maybe food sensitivity will prove to be the trigger for us idiopaths. I don't think just because no trigger is identified for us that one does not exist. Tina, might I ask which foods you were found to be sensitive to? EN is felt to be a hyper sensitivity response that takes a couple weeks to produce a flare. So it makes it hard to figure out a cause and effect. Love, idio. EN '68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
