Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 , after two weeks nodule free it returned with a vengeance. My right thigh has three large nodules and is really swollen. The medial side of the right knee has one as well. The scary one though is I have a nodule in the joint of my upper jaw. Strange, but I had one other nodule on my temple once. Anyway, now I'm not so sure that any of these meds I'm taking really works. I'm back up to 20 mgs. of Pred and 400 mgs of Hyroxichlorquin. If they were affective I would not have had repeated episodes since January 1. I guess I don't know what else to say except keep the faith...Good health and stay well.......Lou Re: Bedrest <<Has anybody tried bed rest for any length of time? >> We have this question on our Database.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 , the only thing I can point to is I've had two really stressful weeks at work prior to the attack. I hope to have a job change by 9/09. By the way, I've never sleep well. That's one thing I haven't checked out. Hopefully the stress reduction will make the difference. Good health to all stay well... Thanks...Lou Re: Bedrest Hi Lou, I am so sorry to hear that! Have you been sleeping well lately? I ask because subjectively when I am not able to sleep [as recently waking up all hours to care for my oldest cat] my EN flares up worse than ever. It is as if I am in a very precarious balance as long as I get enough rest, but if I am not able to sleep enough or if I am stressed out worse than normal, the EN has the upper hand and only regaining my composure and getting decent sleep can tip the scales in my favor. Don't be discouraged. You will find a way to get into remission with whatever combo of drugs or other treatment work for you. Love, idio. EN '68 You rock.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 , I hope Walter is doing better and is his old self soon. I know how it feels when your pet is ill too. I have a three year old Black Lab and he's been having what looks to be allergies. He's on Prednisone too! Anyway, thanks for helping all of us try to cope with this challenging disease. Your hard work is appreciated. Best of health to you and stay well...Lou Re: Bedrest Hi Lou, For me Sleep is the true elixir of life. I haven't had a good nite's sleep since Walter our cat took ill. He seems to have turned the corner yesterday with improved appetite. Still I seem to listen to his every move in the the night and last night he started to snore which he never did before. I hope that is a good sign. I am sure "Mommies" hear sounds that other people don't. I can hear cat throwing up in the next county in my sleep. One thing of EN interest is that while I normally have EN outbreaks of only one or two nodes, this time I have about 7! I think that these are all in places that were nodes many years ago--maybe dating from my first EN outbreak nearly 40 yrs ago! Since I doubt anyone has been biopsied once the nodes clear, maybe the damage and granuloma material never really leaves the tissue. Anyway, that is how it seems to me. And it would mean that all of us idiopathic members who ever had EN are prone to flare ups in the future. Love, idio. EN '68 You rock.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi, I also have "nodules" upper arms, chest back of head and have had them on my jaw. Currently I also have small ones on my face. My biopsy showed Lupus Panniculitis. I am currently taking Methotrexate 6 pills (2.5mg ea) and Prednisone 12.5 mg. Unfortunately, everytime I try to wean down on the prednisone, I flare up. (More muscle and joint pain, more nodules, VERY tender nodules). I have a wonderful Rheumatologist. She adjusts my MTX (methotrexate) and Prednisone symptomatically. I have a follow-up with her tomorrow 4/9 and am anxious to see what the next step is. Thank goodness for prednisone for without it I also wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning. I just wish it didn't have so many "bad" side effects. Has anyone had any GI difficulties (ie. constipation) with MTX? I know that it's a side effect, just wondering about your expriences. I hope to communicate more often, just crazy busy with work, kids and life in general. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Dear I have wrote about my nodules in legs and I too have an hard time getting up in the mornings. It takes so long for me to fuction and take awhile for the sometimes I take Advile or Percet these take so long to work. I went to the dr and she said that the nodules in my arms and above the elbows are just fatty tumors that feel just like my legs the bumps and they hurt all the time. My RA dr is stumped I have to wait another month to go and see him. (sad) He hasnt put me on any thing yet. My neck also hurts all the time. I recently had an neck surg to have pinched nerves removed and it still causes Miagraines cont all the time. I am on 10 mg of Predisone every day. This causes my blood sugar to go very high. My dr has me on 2 different kinds of diabetic meds now. Does anyone have any suggestion for the RA dr And I feel like I'm just puffed up all over all the time. I am just a mess sometimes. mary b --- Castello wrote: > Hi, > I also have " nodules " upper arms, chest back of > head and have had them on my jaw. Currently I also > have small ones on my face.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I was taking Methotrexate ,but my doctor took me off because my Neutrophils dropped to 1000. I have not been able to tapper below 12 mgs without a major relapse. I had a bad a very bad week last week and appear to be coming out of it today. I am taking 19 mg. of Prednisone and 400 mg of Hydochloroquine. I have now had acute symptoms for almost two years. I have an appointment at Northwestern this Thursday and will see if their Rhuematologist has any ideas. So far I've done the hospital circuit, with Loyola, Mayo Clinic and now Northwestern. Our group communication is very beneficial because hopefully sooner than later one of us will find an answer to this ER dilemma.. Keep the faith...stay well...Lou.
