hello everyone,
i have not posted in a long time but i needed to vent to people who understood me:weep: i am extremely depressed i have suffered with anxiety my whole life and im kinda use to it already im an extreme hypochondriac i smoked cigarettes for 8 years and i quit 4 months ago "(yay me) but about 2 weeks ago i got a red hot bump in my leg and being the weirdo that i am i noticed it very quickly then i thought i might just have bumped into something but after a day i has 4 more and then i had a bumch they are red, hard and hot and extremly painfull my ankles get really swollen and my knees hurt badly its horrid!!! i went to the ER and they told me it was flee bites (idiots) its erythema nodosum i looked it up and its the exact thing i have but its not easy to diagnosed because its rare. my worry is that EN is usally caused by something like strep or lung infections sometimes even tuberculosis and lukimia although 60% of people who have EN have it for no apperent reason like stress. im really worried because i do not have insurance and i cant afford a doctor i feel fine its just these bumps and joint pain is killing me :weep: i just need advise
