| A little about me: | I am 33 years old. I was diagnosed with pericarditis in November of 2009 when my baby was 7 months old. I passed out, because I had developed cardiac tamponade. I was on my way to heart failure. I had a large effusion (400 mL) that was drained via a pericardial window. They also took a biopsy of my pericardium. After a battery of tests, the doctors said that it had been caused by a virus. I was put on prednisone after surgery and was on it for almost 2 years. I was also on methotrexate for some time. I have been dealing with recurrent pericarditis ever since. I have had great success using IV hydrogen peroxide therapy, and have been able to get off all of my medications. My adrenals are shot, and I have hypothyroidism, so I am exhausted all of the time. My Igenex testing came back that I have Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Typhus Fever. My LLMD was able to clinically diagnose me with Lyme Disease and Bartonella. I am on oral abx so far, and am doing really well! I have had almost 2 months of good days and no flares of pericarditis since starting abx on 7/12/12! I love to help others, so message me with any questions. I would love to hear from you! |
