    I've had Sarcoidosis since 1988. My lungs were the most affected along with my skin. (My skin is not an issue anymore thank goodness) Through the years I was in an out of the doctors office at least 3 times a week due to the uncontrollable cough, tireness and fatigue. Finally they began treatment for chronic bronchitis. Inhalers were given, as well as promethazine with codeine, and a nebulizer.
    The albruterol worked wonders. Couple months later, I had problems with chest aches and breathing. I couldn't even talk above a whisper and was very short of breath.
    I went to the emergency room and they did an X-Ray only to hospitalized me because the x-ray showed that my right lung had collapsed.
    I was in the hospital for a week. A week and a half later After being released, I went back in the hospital because I started coughing up blood. ( Stayed in hospital another week) Found out that it was the cavities in my lungs that developed fugus. This is what caused the coughing up blood. My doctor told me thaf if I wanted to do better health wise, I needed to move to a warmer climate and that would make a big difference (I lived in Wisconsin) So I moved in October of the same year before winter set in, I moved to Atlanta GA. Been here 12 years and have not been hospital for any Sarcoidosis issues since I left. My lung specialist is the Best ever! I've gone from taking 16 pills a day to 0 pills. I still need my inhalers though. I was able to discontinue my nebulizer a month after I arrived here. And I'm proud to say I feel WONDERFUL!!!! I still have the fatigue from time to time but other than that, Its all been biscuits and gravy. 😆
    Maybe some you may need to do the same. For a better quality of life, it is well worth it. 😎

    There are several suggestions for treating sarcoidosis at home
    Consider adjusting 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 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 have been diagnosed in November 2023 with sarcoidosis. I am currently not displaying any systems on the skin as of yet. I do have a persistent cough since 2017. Had shortness of breath for 4 yrs before I had an savr in September 2022. Will be seeing a specialist sometime in January. Do not have African Canadian lineage.

      @americanbobtail1 Před 3 měsíci

      That's great, but what if you have GI issues as well. For example, I have to cook my veggie soup for 6 hours, the only vegetable I can eat raw is lettuce, and I do eat apples, however, I chew on them and spit out the pulp. If I did digest thebpulp, for sure I would have digestive pain for at least a couple of hours. So, a raw vegetable and fruits diet is not necessarily a solution.

    Oh my gosh. I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in my lungs and something like 11 nodes were removed. At one time I was getting these weird lesions on my torso and legs. My primary doctor didn't have a clue what was causing the lesions. The lesions on my skin have gone away. Now my eyes are watering a lot more than usual and my vision is weird.

    • @mariettafarrow7503
      @mariettafarrow7503 Před 5 lety

      The legions on your legs is not common for many. It is called Laufgren Syndrome. You will feel the nodules and then they show up. They do cause scaring and it looks like polka dots. It is in my eyes and because of it I have to have collagen plugs put in my eyes every 3 months. Because of the Sarcoidosis not being treated early I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and have had Shingles twice. I pray you are doing well. God bless you.

    I have a question. Sarcoidosis can effect any organ. I have it in my lungs. For the past 2-1/2 years I've been having chest pains. I've had a nuclear cardiology stress test but that came out normal. My chest pains seem to be getting worse but 2 doctors have told me that my heart is fine. It doesn't matter if I'm at rest or working I still get rather bad chest pains. Could sarcoidosis be the cause of this? My primary doctor that I have now doesn't know very much about sarcoids.

    • @micotasan3105
      @micotasan3105 Před 5 lety +2

      You can bet on that. I have same symptoms, all the cardiac work they did was " fine" , till i had a CTA done .[ CT angio] it showed 1 branch in my heart almost blocked and nodules in my lungs. I have chest pain, anxiety, and facial numbness. I have to go to the Cardio this week n later I'll go to the pulmology.

Then as an adult I went to Germany for three yrs. at this house there was mold in walls and in cellar horribly. It was at this point that the pains in the upper back started over the left lung. I now have stage 4 chronic active sarcoid.
