Pericarditis Alliance

In early 2023, Catherine was diagnosed with pericarditis, a heart condition that has since become recurrent, profoundly altering her daily life and making her journey both challenging and inspiring. Living with pericarditis has meant giving up some of her passions, like running and weightlifting, but Catherine finds strength in her faith, family, and friends. By sharing her story, she hopes to inspire others facing similar struggles to find courage and keep pushing forward. https://lnkd.in/eJc3VSjZ

My name is Andy, and for the past six years, I’ve been living with chronic pericarditis. It’s been a tough road, filled with pain, uncertainty, and major life changes. But I’ve found strength in sharing my experience, running my own therapy practice, and supporting others who face mental health challenges. Learning to listen to my body and finding the right care has been a turning point in managing my condition. I’m sharing my story to raise awareness and offer hope to others living with pericarditis—there’s a path forward, even when things seem hardest. https://lnkd.in/eg6M7bA8
