Toe affected

I’ve been diagnosed with EM. Doctor isn’t 100% positive. I’ve had symptoms for 7 years and I’ve gone to every type of doctor imaginable. Finally a dermatologist thinks it’s EM. I have neuropathy that may be a symptom of EM? I have several symptoms from EM, including numbness under my toes on both feet, but the worst is one middle toe. Sometimes the pain is excruciating. Is this common?

Yes what you describe is pretty typical. It seems that neuropathy is a somewhat typical symptom. I have been to several doctors and read many articles. Secondary EM (not heritability) is tough to pin down. I also had a stroke which really messed things up.

Hang in there and don’t be afraid to try something new. And good luck!!
