Very first time I had a red lump pop out, I was managing a Burger

King Resteraunt. The primary doc I seen on call then, said it was

from drinking to much soda and it was caused by the syrup that made

up the soda. Something told me that was an off the wall answer.

Never saw that doc again and never. That lump stuck around for about

two months and then it took about 6 years later when I had another

outbreak and it was major and hasn't stopped since. That was 8 years

ago this coming July 6th. Syrup in the soda, yeah right.....

Zoo

PS....by the way...I did give up soda only until recently when I

started on Diet Caffiene Free Coke. Was soda free for years, but not

EN free.

> I am new to this site. For I finally got a clue of what I may have.

For 6 years now I thought that I was getting spider bites! Every

year in the Spring and Summer, I would get a couple of these red

lumps, that were painful to the touch, and would turn into a bruise

and finally go away after 3 months! ( some of the research I have

done said the lumps should go away in 3 to 8 weeks, Hah! ) I recently

went to the doc with these, because I got more lumps this year that

ever. He said he believes I have EN, he wants to do a biopsy to be

sure. I am wondering has anyone out there ever been diagnosed with a

blood test only????? let me know. Cause I dont want a biopsy, I scar

so darn easy!

and yeast is a fungus, you know. Have you ever heard of outbreaks of

EN with the following drugs:

> Carbomol

> Antibiotics

( the doctor will probibly give me something huh? my biopsy is

scheduled for next week, but like I said, I would rather be diagnosed

with a blood test if possible)

the listed possible reasons for EN, other than Candida, yeast.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to this group. Sounds like your all such nice

people here. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of it!

I do have a question I'm hoping someone can answer for me.

Is there anyone here in the group on disability for there asthma?

I have it so bad. I have had it for quite sometime now, and it has

turned into emphysema.

I haven't been able to work for the past ten years. I applied for

disability, but I have been denied. I also appealed it, and now I'm

waiting for some kind of response. It would sure be nice to be able to

talk to someone that's possibly going through the same process as

myself.

Thanks

JoAnn
