MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

Hi everyone needless to say I am in a really bad flare sicker then I have felt in quite a while even my eye lid is swelled up (new to me) my face felt tingly which had went away but its back, muscles knotted, muscle twitching, shaky, electric currents running through the body you name it I feel it today and down flat ( thank goodness for laptops) What do you do to help get these flares to calm down???????? Thought I was on my way to the ER earlier this is crazy.

That hasn't happened to me in a while, in that capacity, but I would take a gabapentin..(neurontin generic) you should ask your doc for that for when you get a flare like this, or something equivalent. It's becaue of the stress your going through, so trying to put your head ina different place would help also, although I know it's hard when your going through what you are, but meditation can be a wonderful thing.
