Has any one ever had pericarditis? I was told I have that now as well. They think it is a bacterial infection from the pneumonia but can't be sure I didn't already have it from the Lupus? It's sort of scary and I don't know much about it. I am on antibiotics,ibprofin ,pain meds, and steroids. I am trying to keep hydrated and stay down. Is there anything else I can do?
