To Tawny re: heart problems

[Guest guest]

It makes me feel better to know that somebody has experienced this.

I am seeing my rheumatologist next week (I get my mtx and prednisone

from him) but I saw my GP on Monday because I wanted to see someone

right away about it. The GP put me on a high blood pressure

medication at least until we figure out what is causing all of this.

How did they treat your pericarditis? Is it true that it resolves on

its own?

Thanks for the info.
