:( 6 Months of Pericarditis
by: Colleen on Thu, Jan 10 2008

Hi guys. I have suffered with this for at least 6months(i think I had it a month before it was officially diagnosed). It is such a frustrating condition because all my blood work is normal, and they can not give me a cause. I find that ibruprofen works best for me for pain. I guess my case is mild, I have never had to take the pain killers or anything. Some days are better than others, I am going on cruise next week and just want to be able to enjoy myself. Any advice, support, etc appreciated! Thanks!
