Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hello all, Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I don't know whare the time goes. I've been having chest pain for a few months now and have just been told by the cardiologist that it is being caused by pericardial inflammation. We're hoping that the Rituximab will kick in and sort it out but it's early days on that front yet and I'm finding the chest pain and chest aching awful. The doc said that the treatment for this is steroids and anti- inflammatory medications. However, I'm currently down to 10mg of prednisolone having had a lot of pressure put on me by the RD because of the dreadful side effects. Docs won't put me onto anti-inflammatory tablets because I have a history of stomach ulcers. So you see, I'm stuck between a rock and hard place! Has anyone got any thoughts on what might help? Any advice much appreciated. Best wishes to all Kate (UK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
