Update on another newbie :P

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

I have had EN for 2 months now. I have lots of auto-immune illnesses

and it seems my EN was triggered by stress plus a really bad

throat/nose/lung infection.

I was on strong anti-biotics for 3 weeks and it's still no good. EN is

improving then getting worse again. I have 7 and 4 lumps/lesions on my

legs. I have awful bronchitis that refuses to go away. I'm overseas

and have to keep walking in the heat sometimes and every second day I

collapse.

Today I was given a new even stronger and different anti-biotic and

I'm really hopeful this will help. So it seems my EN was triggered by

a microorganism that's not identified but is atypical.

Cross your fingers that the new antibiotics will work... if it doesn't

I might have to go on prednisolone.

I'm also travelling which is soooo hard with EN and full-on

auto-immunity happening. This came at a very bad time... when I'm back

home I'll have to get more tests to see if it's only EN or something

else too... I hope it's just EN.

cheers,

Niko
