Mesenteric Panniculitis or Sclerosing Mesenteritis

I am a retired teacher and am 60 years old. I have been identified with MP for about 4 years. Last summer I tested positive for HLA-B27 which is an inflammatory white blood cell issue! This past week I knew I was having a heart attack (Kim said something about that), it wasn’t but was very painful! My older brother (a cardiologist thought it might be an esophageal spasm) Was wondering if this is related to MP or HLA-B27? I am diabetic so do not take prednisone so it wasn’t that.
I have taken the first COVID shot (Moderna) and it was no problem. Had a bump and some pain the next day but it was like any of the shots you get in a muscle. I take the second one tomorrow. Will let you know how that goes.

Yes, the esophageal spasms mimic the pain of a heart attack and I have had several ambulance trips to the ER to rule out my heart! My doctors felt that the spasms were brought on by the use of prednisone. Unfortunately, I have been on prednisone steadily since Aug. 2017, so sometimes one thing to help heal, may be causing another problem!
