Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Yes, ine, welcome to this great site. I am so glad I found it myself. It helped me a lot with questions and support and a lot of friends who understood how I felt. I have had sarcoid for 5 yrs. and it's been tough on my body (systemic & skin). That's why I didn't get right back to you on your message right away, I was having a flare, sorry. Anyway, I am glad to find someone who has lived in New England, not too many have here. Right now it's starting to get down into the 30's at night and low 45-50's during the day yesterday. I have to dig out my winter coat!!! I have 3 boys , ages 23, 19 & 16 and I am 45 myself. Hunting season has started. The have brought home ducks, geese and my oldest just got a deer yesterday. Me, myself, I send it all to my to father's house who is a "retired hunter" himself. He can deal with it all! Not me, yek! My oldest just graduated from Keene State (you must know it , right on the border of NH & VT) for majoring in Environmental Studies , my second son is going to NH Community Tech School for Auto Tech , and my youngest is still in high school, but goes part time to a Tech school for welding. So hope you find some support here. You will meet the warmest people and great friends. Debbie T. Co-Moderator Tiodaat@... wrote: HI ine, Welcome to the gang. We are over 500 members strong, and growing every day. Many of us have had sarcoidosis for many years, others are still in the process of being diagnosed. In our ARCHIVES and LINKS we've got a wealth of information, and you are more than welcome to ask questions-- and we'll try to help you find answers. We have 4 wonderful moderators-- and 2 owners. WE are all "sarcoidians" and so somedays, we answer the questions that come up quickly, other times it may take a day or two. I have systemic sarcoidosis, started in my lungs and eyes, went into sarcoid induced arthritis throughout my entire body, my lymphatic system and my brain. I use a combination of meds-- Plaquenil, Methotrexate and Remicade to keep the disease from progressing. You will find that you have a family where you can discuss what is going on, you'll probably even get more advice than you may have wanted! So again, welcome-- and let us know what's up. Sincerely, Tracie NS Co-owner/moderator See what's new at AOL.com and Make AOL Your Homepage.
