Guest guest Posted May 29, 1999 Report Share Posted May 29, 1999 Is Erythema Nodosum common with Lyme Disease? I had it some time back, pre-Lyme, and now I'm starting to wonder... Maybe I've had this Lyme longer than I suspected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 1999 Report Share Posted May 30, 1999 Hi , I don't know if it is common or not, but many of us with Lyme had many strange, undiagnosed rashes. My shin bone rash came about 2 months after my tick bite. It was very itchy and was purplish in color and oval shaped. I had it on both legs. One idiot Inf disease doctor told me it appeared to be scabies, although he tested it and viewed it under microscope with a negative response. He still rx'd Kwell, which did not help at all.....I am still fuming over that guy! I also had a recurring shingle type rash under my left breast, it came out monthly like clockwork. Very painful.....but I know it was related to Lyme disease. Marta >From: LuRock@... > >Is Erythema Nodosum common with Lyme Disease?

My mother has had several bouts with erythema nodosum. She also has a very elevated sed rate and scleritis in one of her eyes but no other symptoms. The doctors are scratching their heads. I have PA, but have never had any erythema nodosum. Bizarre! Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the good ol' Pepto Bismol is one quick and dirty trick, but long term, healing the gut involves figuring out IgA sensitivities (statistically, gluten, casein, corn, eggs, soy are the common culprits, gluten being the most common), probiotics, and not eating SAD. Sinus infections are commonly associated with said allergies too, and/or IgG allergies. A Neti pot with a few drops of tea tree oil really helps though, both to help get rid of them and to help prevent them. Interestingly, when I looked this up, it sounds exactly like what I got when I was a teen and working behind a candy counter at a local theater. I don't know if it was standing up all day, or all the candy I was eating that caused it, but I quit the job and they went away. -- Heidi Jean http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=1\ 5165200 & dopt=Abstract We present a 16-year-old girl with a 4-year history of chronic persistent erythema nodosum. Recurrently low serum iron values suggested the possibility of a malabsorption syndrome. The presence of antitransglutaminase and antiendomysium antibodies and the jejunal biopsy specimen findings showed an underlying celiac disease. On a strict gluten-free diet, the skin lesions resolved and the girl has since remained symptom free for 9 months. Thus celiac disease can be a triggering factor for erythema nodosum. In the chronic form of the skin lesions, serologic testing for this specific enteropathy may be justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi there. I'm not sure what it is you are describing. My son (recently diagosed with AOSD) seems to have almost everything going, including some things nobody else has. What is erythema nodosum? Is it to do with the heart? He certainly has that going on... erythema nodosum Has anyone ever had this particular problem or livedo reticularis? I have some questions about a new problem....

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 The pain was horrible! I couldn't even walk. My son (seven at the time) had to help me around the house. At the time, I had yet tobe diagnosed with Still's. It took them 8 years to finally come to that conclusion. Now, during one of these episodes, a dermatologist biopsied one of the lumps on my leg and it came back as Vasculitis, an autoimmune disease which causes inflammation of the blood vessels. But, it was referred to as " Erythema Nodosum " at onset. I can tell you that Prednisone nipped it in the bud, albeit a high dose. I hope I never get it again and if you have this, my sympathies are definitely with you, as it is painful. I also had joint and muscle pain during these episodes. Keep us posted & feel better soon!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Good afternoon I have had this too. abouy 4 years ago. But I don't have Still's my husband Vick does. It was very painful and Predisone didn't help me. but I would have the chills and shake. then more bumps would apear. these were like haveing a Still's flare I thought. They were on my arms and legs and some on my stomache but I agree I don't want to have this again. I too could hardly walk it lasted about 4 month then one day it was gone. Kind of weird stuff.
