Sarcoidosis 101 | American Lung Association

Sarcoidosis is a rare disease that can affect any organ, but 90 percent of cases affect the lungs. If you, or someone you love, is experiencing respiratory symptoms like a cough or shortness of breath, or skin rashes, eye irritation or fatigue, talk to your doctor.
Developed in partnership with the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research and CHEST Foundation, the project was produced with support from Mallinckrodt. Learn more about sarcoidosis at Lung.org/sarcoidosis.

These are the kind of diseases where most doctors will tell you that "it's nothing, and it's fibromyalgia and go to take psychotherapy". It's sad many doctors don't know of all these diseases leaving the patients without diagnosis.

Sadly, my sister died from this disease on July 30, 2021. She had the clusters in her lungs removed ten years earlier. It got so bad two weeks before hear death that it caused internal bleeding and leaked blood through holes created through the nodes pressing up against her esophagus, and ultimately we could not save her. Before she entered the hospital, she was getting night sweats and chills for hours. She had been on prednisone to relieve her symptoms too. It was a bad ending for her as we had to force a coma to keep a stint in place to cauterize the broken artery wall, and after 15 days of battling, many blood transfusions, her organs could not take it. She had been a causal smoker and had allergy shots as a child. She did not exercise and eat well either. You can fight this disease if you can do yourself a favor, try to change to a healthier lifestyle before it's too late.
