Symptoms have always included-- malaise, nodules on shins, joint pain. I am currently 6 weeks post strep and my shins are starting to hurt, my knee is VERY painful, I feel like I have been hit by a truck so I am imagining a bout of EN coming on and looking for support. I have some good photos of my last bout--- Other health conditions---overweight, high BP, sleep apnea, depression/anxiety The last time I had a bad bout of EN was in 06 and I did 2 separate courses of the prednisone packs before they subsided. I agree to treat all with respect! I agree not to advertise anything!
