I have been a member of in the past. Then, over the past

year, I'd been feeling pretty good. Quick summary of my complaints-

colitis, iritis, spondyloarthropathy. Then, in March, I developed an

erythema nodosum on my right ankle. Had it biopsied, it went away in

time, left a nasty scar. Well about a month ago, my back flared up

big time, and at the exact same time, I developed another one of

those things on my left leg...this time, however, I started having

fever, night sweats, and the pain is intolerable! Heavy dose of

steroids started and now my rheumy has me starting MTX. I'm not

happy with that, because I didn't feel like I'm in that bad of shape

yet, ha! Anyway, I'd really like to hear from anyone else about the

skin things right now...I don't see a lot of links to the

spondyloartrhopathies, and I'm wondering if it could be a symptom of

another disease! I'm sure you'll all begin hearing from me again,as

I begin another search for peace and understanding about this illness

of mine! , Age 41, Wife, mom and full time career!
