First post ever!

Hi Group!

Well, I've been a member of this group for quite a while now, (maybe

close to a year?) and have never posted. I guess it's always

different once you have an outbreak, right? lol

Anyway, I was diagnosed with EN around 2004 and originally had a bump

on my left ankle, which as it went away, left a new one slightly

higher, slightly higher, slightly higher, over the course of a year or

so, it stopped at my knee. I then got a couple bumps on my r. shin

sporadically.

I've never taken anything for it. My dermatologist in Colorado

biopsied a lesion and confirmed the EN, but all other tests have come

up negative. Since I've been in Texas, since 2005, I am now in the

process of my second outbreak. I've read a lot about EN and am so

frustrated to now know why this started. I haven't been on BCP or

meds of any kind that should cause it. The only thing is that I have

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, which is autoimmune.

I think this is the first time I can link an outbreak with really

feeling lousy. I'm just so exhausted! I wish I could sleep all day.

Anyone else feel that way? Also, I'm considering trying a Naturopath

for suggestions. Anyone else use a Naturopath?

Thanks for your input!
