Erythema Nodosum

Inflammation of the fat layer under the dermis due to an autoimmune disorder diagnosed as "Mixed Connective Tissue Disease." These are about halfway through their cycle, and will hopefully be gone in about a week.

I was diagnosed with the same thing yesterday! I have them on my legs, 4 on my right and 9 on my left. I am also a dancer and this hurts so much that I almost can't dance, and I have to perform tomorrow. They told me that it's from my past case of mono (I had it a few months ago). I have alot of hitting my heels, stamping, and jumping in my dances so it hurts ALOT! *hugs* I hope they find out what's causing it for you exactly, I hope that for everyone because I don't even want to walk right now.

@princess3night3 I'm so sorry to hear that! It's admirable that you try working through your pain, but make sure that you are taking care of yourself, eating enough, getting enough sleep! Do they know if your erythema is secondary to another condition? Mine is because I have something in the same family as lupus, but there are other issues, even food allergies, that can cause them to happen for some people.

Are you going to be okay? Is this a permanent condition?

[purplelirpa]

@ravendon usually permanent. This is really a symptom of the larger disorder I have: Mixed Connective Tissue Disease which is in the same family as lupus.

I have had Erythema Nodosum for over 20 years.

Tried EVERYTHING from antibiotics to steriods to no avail.

Finally, I found out about Serrapeptase. If you catch the knots when they are tiny then the recommended dosage works, take more for severe outbreaks.

(This is not spam or a sales pitch.)

You can get Serrapeptase from just about any health food store. It's safe and effective for many other inflammatory processes.

Check w/ur Dr first & then try it. Hope it works for you!!! God bless!

I was diagnosed with the same thing in january. I had the lumps on the soles of my feet and hands and could just manage to walk. The pain was unbearable. I had lots of weird symptoms, swolen hands and feet, very bad joint pain, fever, nightsweats, skull pain, headache. It was caused by sarcoidosis in my case. Im still receiving treatment. I wish you the best of luck and hope you feel better.

it looks like ringworm to me :/

Garlic works very well, indeed, and plenty of water...i noticed these a few days ago, and i take aged garlic daily & they are already going away, don't hurt, aren't swollen, or as red, and it's only been two days. they will probably be gone in another day or two...i thought they were bites and until yesterday, i had not even heard of this condition. i figured since i couldn't see any trace of holes or fang marks that a bug or spider would've left, that i needed to find out what else it could be.

Are you planning to become a doctor? Nurse? Dentist?

[nekorb1985]

i have erythema nodosum as well. Doctors were giving me prednisone, but it was messing me up. i was told this disease could be deadly if not taken care of. Ive found out that Garlic pills or vitamins work well, without the side affects of prednisone. try tem out and let me know if they work for you all.

My mum just had another flair up =(

Hope it clears up soon, the last time she has was over new years - two years ago - and couldn't walk without crutches for two months. Hopefully it clears up soon.
