[@matthewyaquinto4662]

Very happy to see you recovered and well again!

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Thank you Matthew! I’m stoked

[@mxer822]

Thank you so much for posting this. I’m 32. Active. And have the same diagnosis following my 2nd Covid vaccine.

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Hey man, I’m sorry to hear this. I’m actually having some symptoms again after getting the jab last week and it sucks 🐉

[@mxer822]

@@PatrickDelorenzi oh damn. Well hopefully it goes away again! I was told probably no more vaccines for me.

[@mxer822]

@@PatrickDelorenzi I’m 6 months into recovery. It’s strange I will feel 90-100% for 2-3 weeks then have a relapse where I feel like I’m 60-80% for 2-3 weeks. Been a rollercoaster. What kind of meds did they have you on? I’m on colchicine still

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

@@mxer822 Hey there, I did colchicine and ibuprofen and was back in 1 month - have you had a check up echocardiogram that shows inflammation still?

[@elisabethm9655]

Thank you - Senior mild post booster pericarditis patient already, who finally got Covid. I’m doing okay, but I appreciate your insights and I’m coming to accept that this is going to be an extended period of gentle living until a full recovery can be expected. ❤

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Hey Elizabeth! Sorry to hear this! But don’t worry you’ll be fine and back to regularly scheduled programming asap

got covid and diagnosed with peri 1 week ago at 29 healthy plant based after 10 month recovery of vax injury. Thank you for showing me hope for the first time, all the best

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Hey Rafa! I hope you heal quick, take the meds, rest and you will be back in no time

[@stevendaddyrue8026]

Glad to hear you are back from COVID/complications, and I hope your Achilles heals soon so you can smash 2022

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Thank you Steven! I’m looking forward to it

[@alessandrofoglia3611]

❤️💆‍♂️💆‍♂️

[@ToyMakerprops]

I'm 53 got covid in February and still have pericarditis/myocarditis. Pain still there. Taking 8 pills, blood thinners, etc...I'm scared it might never go away. 😢

[@nuerphil1]

Nice to see you recovered mate !

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

thanks! im stoked

[@lazyrose7952]

Thank you so much for sharing! This was so helpful. Does your doctor friend who treated you have a KZbin I can watch? Glad to know you’re better and back to it. 😊

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Unfortunately not that I know of - just take it easy and you will be fine

[@danialmirbagheri57]

Just came across this video. I'm glad you are recovered and mainly back to your normal lifestyle! As someone who who was diagnosed with Myopericaridtis almost 4 months ago from the vaccine, I was wondering what did you do in those 30 days of rest? What was your diet? Did you watch or sodium intake? I'm a 20 yo Male and have never dealt with something so hard in my life. I've tried many different things but the pain has still not subsided. Your feedback would be much appreciated ! Thanks

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Hey man, first off im sorry to hear you have this problem. It sucks and I feel you man. During the 30 days of rest I ate a normal whole foods plant based diet, focusing on anti inflammatory easy to digest foods, like fruit and whole grains. I made sure I got as much full body sunshine as I could, tried to stay as much as possible in nature, and I slept AS MUCH as I physically could. Good quality deep and long sleep I think is the number one way to ramp up healing and recovery. I kept my heart rate under 110 for the whole month and took the meds my doc told me. Have faith it will heal 🤙

[@-xyz-012]

@@PatrickDelorenzi may I ask what meds did your dr prescribe you?

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Colchicine and ibuprofen 🤙

[@eayzgaj]

Hi Patrick, I am currently suffering with heart symptoms, but not from COVID itself, from the vaccine. I have not been formally diagnosed with myocarditis or pericarditis yet, awaiting MRI. Could you tell me how you were diagnosed, did you have elevated troponin, what were you ECG and echocardiogram like? Did you have MRI? This is truly worrying for me as I, like yourself am a cyclist.

[@eayzgaj]

Also what was your treatment, were you prescribed colchicine?

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Hey there, sorry I did not reply earlier. I was diagnosed via echocardiogram which showed a hyper reflective posterior pericardium, troponin levels where normal - it was mild. Right now I just got the jab yesterday and unfortunately I am experiencing some of the same symptoms, but my heart doctor said it should be just transitory. Yes I was prescribed ibuprofen 2x a day and colchicine. I rested for a full month, and then got a check up echo Which was completely fine! Hope you heal quick, if you can get an echocardiogram to understand what you are dealing with

[@eayzgaj]

@@PatrickDelorenzi thanks for replying. My echo was normal and troponin normal but lateral wall ischaemia on ECG. I haven’t been prescribed any medication as there has not been a formal diagnosis. I’m currently resting and taking ibuprofen 1200mg per day. What jab did you have? Mine was Moderna, didn’t realise before but Moderna has higher dose than Pfizer, 100mg compared to 30mg. I would recommend avoiding Moderna based on my experience. I previously had Pfizer with no side effects.

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Pfizer, but tbh I hope it’s nothing and just the body fighting off the stimulus from the jab. I think if the echo is normal there should be nothing to worry about, as in maybe you feel some pain but it’s nothing major. Echo would of shown myo or pericarditis imho. That being said, let me know what the MRI says! Both Covid and the vaccine are weird things and everybody reacts differently

[@eayzgaj]

@@PatrickDelorenzi I appreciate you taking time to reply, my main symptoms are elevated hr when doing anything physical, such as climbing stairs, and forceful heart beat, did you have these symptoms? Not really pain, slight discomfort. It’s been 3 weeks since the jab.

[@astroboy1207]

How are you now
