Just Been Diagnosed With Sarcoid ....

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I was just diagnosed with sarcoid last March.I have 2 small nodules

(one on each lung) and one 3 inches on windpipe.But I originaly had a

chest xray in 12/04 then had a Cat scan in Jan.`05. A small nodule

shown up then and the Doctor I had been going to said to wait and have

another Cat scan in a year.A year went past, tired alot and had

another Cat scan in Jan.`06 showed it had not gotten any bigger. I did

go see a Pulmonary Doctor in `05 any he wasn`t concern.

I moved to another State and had my eyes check, this Doctor sent me

to a retina specialist.He advised getting blood tests,etc.My eyes are

effected with alot of white cells and have been taking predisone drops

for 3 months. I did have a biopsy done and the nodules are definitely

sarcoid and not Cancer.I am eating better,drinking stuff to improve my

immune system and my eye sight since that is what is bothering me the

most now.I figure this is going to be a long, long duration.Don`t

understand at my age how I got this(I am 58)but I do believe it is

enviromentaly involved since where I lived between `02 and `05 was a

below ground apartment with mold.I would like to hear from others and

their circumstance.
