Was diagnosed with pulmonary Sarcoidosis in early 2012 after seeing swollen lymph nodes on a chest xray, I was sent in for a ct scan and a biopsy, I had a lot of strange symptoms leading up to diagnosis, thankfully I haven't had too many problems with it recently and I am hoping it stays that way. Just a comment of encouragement for those who are unsure or concerned.

I am sure you will have flareups over the years like I do. Right now I am in month 2 of my latest flare. Having really bad pain in chest, uvitis, and all over aches and pain. On 30 mg prednisone and my face is getting like a balloon b0ecause I am getting Cushinoid. My primary care is a real dud when it comes to treatment so finally got referral to pulmonologist and am hopeful I will get some help. Blessing to all my fellow sufferers ....we sure need it.

Hello I am 50 years old and I work a midnight shift at a hotel/restaurant delivering room service. I acquired sarcoidosis from accidentally inhaling an insecticide that is used by the Orkin Bug exterminator company. I did some research and they also gave me the chem sheets of the ingredients of the spray. The one main ingredient was a chemical made from a tree nut from another country. The side effects were that of breathing problems and to seek fresh air if inhaled. Just thought I would pass this info on to you for future research. Maybe some of the sarcoidosis sufferers like myself are allergic to this chemical used in hotels /restaurants by Orkin. Thank you

So glad to have seen the video. To know that other people understand this disease! I ignored the fatigue, coughing, and aches for a long time. I was diagnosed after being taken to the ER with "stroke-like" symptoms. I started with high doses of prednisone but had too many problems. Now I do weekly methotrexate injections and get Remicade infusions every 8 weeks. Still have a lot of fatigue and depression.

Dude, you hang in there too! Most of us are overweight, and we could all feel better. Try to get yourself into a new environment. It used to be when I was a kid it was NORMAL to dump our used motor oil in the back alley. It's entirely possible a particular house or apartment or block has nasty chemicals seeping out that can cause autoimmune disease, and the only way to stop this if it's happening to you, is to be in a different place.

I was diagnosed with venous thrombosis in the brain, blood clots, a CT Scan revealed Sarc in the lungs, am awaiting full diagnosis. A lot of brave people on here, the story of comparison with cancer rings true, people say to me, "if it was cancer they would tell you straight away, that's good news!" Right now from what I see, little difference to the sufferer with sarc to that of cancer, just no public suppport. I have never seen a charity, or coffee morning or private dedicated nurses for those with sarc.

I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis 2 weeks ago. It's in my entire liver, spleen and in part of my lungs. It's also in my lymph nodes and the nervous system is also affected as well as my skin. I had symptoms for about 4 years, and it got worse the past 2 years. It escalated the past 4 months and ended up in hospital, from the blood Tests the doctors finally decided to take a CT. It's not a common thing for the doctors here in South Africa to see it so severe and in almost all the organs. They are yet to do tests to see if it's in my heart. I do not know what to expect as it's in almost my entire body. Depression, fatigue, vomiting, disorientation, weight loss, night sweats, insomnia, swollen feet and ankles, headaches, chest pain that feels like a heart attack, shortness of breath and irritating dry cough, bloody nose but not bleeding, painful skin rashes, numbness and almost a needle and pins sensation in my legs, feet, hands and face gets so painful that I'm on chronic pain meds, my kidneys are also not functioning well anymore.... The diagnosis is Sarcoidosis but I do not know the specific Sarcoidosis yet. I'm very worried and would like to know if anyone else also got it so severe like I do. How will it affect my daily life in the future and must I be worried that it's going to be fatal in my case? I'm only starting with treatment tomorrow and it's on cortisone. I feel like a test subject as it seems like the severity of my condition is not very known here in SA.

here's several things for solving sarcoidosis naturally Consider changing your Diet - In some cases sarcoidosis has been associated with celiac disease, such as a reaction to certain protein chains commonly referred to as glutens found in some cereal grains such as wheat. You could also try different Natural supplements, herbs, and vitamins Also the use of anti-oxidants and natural anti-inflammatory supplements could be of benefit. (I discovered these and why they work on Remission Crusher Tactic website )
