Well, we have officially confirmed that I am a mess. I noticed increased bruising with the Verapamil, but this week have developed a severe allergy. Rash, petechiae, swollen, painful joints. So now, literally, the only med I had is gone...... Ugh.

This sucks. I was hoping you found some relief you could live with.

I lurk here frequently and have followed your story a little. I have no advice. Just prayers for you. This heart stuff sucks at times.

Thank you. I am so upset. I got drug induced vasculitis, which can be very serious. I am so sad about it. It was literally the only med that helped and was tolerable.

Well, EP called today. My hemoglobin keeps dropping, liver function getting worse. EP said no more meds. Another ablation is the only option. Now I just have to figure out the who, when, and where after all this has passed. Who but me gets Pericarditis and Vasculitis in the same year?

Sorry to hear that your problems are continuing. It sounds as if you are having a year as rough as mine, if not more so. Hopefully you can get some of this resolved and go forward with your procedure. Keep up the good fight! I am going to try with mine after I get some rest.

Unbelievable what you are going through! So sorry. Hope you can get a plan in place as soon as possible.
