Re: CA Neurologists with NS experience

[Guest guest]

I need help: my friend has been in hopsital in Oakland, Ca.

since Sept 1st. She was admitted with a urinary tract infection--

which was treated and cured withn a few days. The thing is she

continues to decline. Her speech and small motor functions are

affected and she is nearly helpless--despite being back on iv

solumedrol and undergoing blood pharysis.

The past couple of days, her hands have become rigid and her mouth

is not working very well. I spoke this evening with her neurologist-

-who is a personal friend--and he simply doesn't know what is

causing this--or what to do.

My question is: is there ANYone doing CNS sarcoid work on the West

Coast? (Dr. Sharma--USC?--seems to be only a lung guy.)

If not, does anyone have experience with Jeffery Rumbaugh at s

Hopkins?

I would appreciate greatly any insights you might have.

Sharma is excellant, although his speciality is lungs. He is considered the #2 expert on sarcoidosis in the US-- and is able to figure out the different components of sarcoidosis. It would be worth a call down there. (I was in a clinical trial he headed for Remicade and sarc.)

I went to Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research and went to the LINKS for "find a provider"- neurology. I entered California and this is what is listed. You'll have to search for the phone #.
