following on from some recent discussions it seems like people in this community are much more prone than the general population to getting pericarditis or myocarditis after COVID
some quick sums found that while the general rate of these issues after covid is around 1 case per 1000
whereas, in a rough sample of people here it seems there are 3 or 4 cases in our small number of active members at this point in time - which would give us a rather alarming number of something like 1 in 10
i thought it worth starting a poll to see how many others here might be affected
please do answer even if you didn't have pericarditis or myocarditis
as well as answering the poll please do post what treatments you took and anything you found helpful
