Thank you all for your help. I live in Indiana about an hour west of Indianapolis. I will check out the link you posted.
I did get into my family doctor today and he pretty much told me he didn’t know what was going on with me (I do appreciate his honesty but not very comforting). He said he was leaning towards some kind of auto immune problem at this point. He mentioned lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis, or pancreatitis all as possibilities but not sure what at this point. He ordered a bunch of labs and said he would be referring me to someone else depending on how my new labs turn out.
For the erythema nodosum he gave me anti-inflammatory patches to wear since I have trouble with most anti-inflammatory types of pills due to some stomach issues. He also gave me a rx for steroids but said I needed to wait until the blood work is back before I can start them. I hate steroids. I’ve had so many bad experiences with them and they make it easy to lose control of my diabetes. Usually they result in a hospital stay. Hopefully I’ll be getting answers soon. I think the not knowing what’s wrong part of it is almost worse than how I feel.
Good luck to you all and thanks again for the help.
