Thanks Dr. Diana. I also have what I believe is swollen lymph nodes – mostly in the neck and back of head, that is why i am thinking Lupus. Do EDSers get swollen lymph nodes that could mimic lupus? Also, my facial rash is bumpy and itchy. I do have flushing as well, but this rash is different from the flushing. Are there any known cases of EDS with Lupus? I have also considered that the facial rash could be dermatomyositis related. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks, MJ.

PS I also have what I believe is a painful, recurring nose ulcer and I am positive I have Erythromelalgia, but I am no where near being diagnosed.

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
