Dealing with Erythema Nodosum
in Health ·
I’ve been dealing with this illness myself—it’s been two months now, and it just keeps coming back. During my first appointment, the doctor told me it would last three to four weeks. Then she said four to five, then five to six... and now that I’m hitting week seven, she’s claiming it’ll be seven to eight before it clears up. Honestly, I’m losing my mind. I’m stuck at home constantly because everything hurts—my muscles, tendons, joints, you name it. Initially, I was treated with a local corticosteroid (Beloderm), and after two weeks, I moved on to Medrol injections. Following those, I was put on Medrol tablets, which worked like a charm—the pain vanished instantly and all my symptoms cleared out; I felt like a new person. But the second I stop taking the Medrol, the whole mess comes right back. Now, my doctor won't even let me stay on the Medrol for much longer, and instead, she’s upped my dose of Sumameda due to inflammation and an CRP reading of 41. Everything hurts. Has anyone else gone through something similar?
