Re: Clomid and Erythema Nodosum(sp?)

Previous message: Pat: "Re: M/C - More questions - pls advice" In reply to: olga: "Clomid and Erythema Nodosum(sp?)" <<<They tell me that it's Erythema Nodosum. Can anybody tell me anything more about this disease? Was it brought on by the Clomid? Any response will help. Thank you.>> I found a few web sites with more information. I suppose it is possible it was caused by Clomid, but more likely it was something else. Here are some helpful websites, if you haven't found them before: http://www.dermnetnz.org/index.html <<The condition can also be a reaction to drugs (sulfonamides, iodides, bromides, oral contraceptives). <<If an underlying streptococcal infection is suspected, antibiotic therapy is beneficial (eg, penicillin for >= 1 yr). Aspirin may help relieve severe symptoms when there is no evidence of underlying infection or drug etiology, although lesions often recur. When there are few lesions, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (2.5 to 5 mg/mL) may provide symptomatic relief. Potassium iodide 300 to 600 mg/day for up to 8 wk has been advocated as an alternative treatment. Systemic corticosteroids, often the only means of controlling the lesions, may mask an underlying systemic disease.>> http://www.merck.com/pubs/mmanual/section10/chapter118/118e.htm -- Pat Sonnenstuhl, ARNP, CNM, MS General Health Resources http://www.midwivesofwa.org/websites.htm Wonen's Health Concerns http://www.midwivesofwa.org/womenshealth.htm At Fri, 12 Jul 2002, olga wrote: <<I took clomid for a few months before I finally got pregnant.
