Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this and what their symptoms were and what tx they got. I've had ongoing pleurisy which always goes aways with steroid tx, however, xray/ct scan are always neg. I started breathig and inhaling first thing in the morning and when I did I would feel this rub in my chest and could not decide whether it was my heart or lungs, my legs/ankles have been swelling quite badly too. I've also started heart palpitations. Anways Dr gave me 160mg shot of steroids, didnt do much at all then she called me in 40 mgs of pred. I started 4 days ago, I'm not achy now and feel more energetic but still pretty short of breath and still having pleurisy pain and I can faintly hear the rub first thing in the morning.:worried: My rheumie ordered an echo last thurs but I haven't got the results yet and it's a holiday weekend. Sorry guess I'm just worried.:worried::worried::worried:
