Re: Professions and sarcoidosis

[Guest guest]

It is quite amazing that we have as many medical professionals and teachers that are on this forum.

I know that there is a train of thought that maybe sarc was a "rogue" tb-- probably brought in from a Third World Country and that because we were told that we 'had a virus'-- it was to run it's course-- and by doing such- our immune systems were turned on-- and the off switch was disconnected.

Add genetic predisposition and our high stress lifestyles- and we are the "chosen" ones.

Where do we sign up to disenroll?

I know I was exposed, but never tested positive. We use to treat alot of the missionaires from all over the world-- and the year I first came down with this-- they were from Africa-- and the stories they told of bieng in the outbacks and such-- incredible.

Some kinda junk showed up on my chest xray & all 3 of my siblings xrays also. They ended up calling it histoplasmosis but I kinda wonder now...........

10 to 1 odds it was sarcoidosis. Do you have a positive biopsy for your sarc?

No definate proof I guess I'm another process of elimination. My neuro so it's definately NOT MS because I have the white inflammation but I don't have any black holes in my brain. At least he didn't say I had rocks in there or bats in my belfry (what is a belfry?)LOLgrannylunatic@...
