ok, so those of you who read my other post about mini heart attacks, here is the continuation!!!
i went to rheumy today and told him about my concern! he felt and looked at the area around my heart, and altho my heart beat is fine, he said the whole sternum is really badly inflamed, and that is the reason for the pain. he also said the whole area is inflamed, and not much is going to help it! he gave me naproxen, although i have had it in the past, and i dont think it helped long term! he upped my methotrexate, and gave me some other thing to line my stomach! he will check my ANA again, and has also told me i have raynauds!!!
all this is not an option, i DONT WANT TO SUFFER ANYMORE!!!! the lack of diagnosis is really bothering me, i am sick of this running back and forward to rheumy, hospital, GP etc!!!
altho he was really nice, i am not sure all this is going to help me, i dont know wat other tests to request seeing as i have had them all!!!!
oh well, i hope the anti inflammatories help me with my heart attacks...
thanks for listening to me
