Success stories please 🙏- Can’t tolerate colchicine and NSAIDS
I’ve had post viral pericarditis (presume from Covid 3-4 weeks prior) for the last 2 weeks. I was started on colchicine but it’s been really rough and I think I now have gastritis, even on 0.25mg twice a day.
Does anyone have any success stories on prednisone alone? About to start this (feeling a bit nervous).
It’s reassuring to read others having pain in other places! I get the referred pain into the left shoulder/neck area, but also randomly into my ribs.
I also developed Episcleritis with this episode which resolved super quick, and some tenosynovitis I had also got flared up which is starting to resolve, so I’m hopeful that the pericarditis will also settle…
Bloods all normal (inc autoimmune screen) and all heart tests normal but man this is an awful and wild ride.
