I got erythema nodosum about 3-4 weeks after my GM started.  First I noticed 2 red spots on my legs. Before I knew it, the red spots became painful and I started to get more red spots.  It was so painful I could barely walk.  I saw an infectious disease specialist and he diagnosed me with Erythema Nodosum.  I went on steroids for that, and was able to walk fine again.  The red spots were all different sizes, some were raised, some got darker in color.  But eventually they faded into faded-like bruises.  I'm vurious if maybe you had this too?

I did not get any blood shot red eyes though.  Keep in touch and let us know what's new with you and how your doctor visits are going.  Good luck to you!

Very interesting.  I have never heard of gm manifesting anywhere but the breasts.  In fact my breast surgeon said it was a disease limited to the breasts.
