As some of you know, I joined this group back in 2001. Ten years has gone by, and

many wonderful- and trying hours of study, learning, reading, investigating, searching, hoping, praying, crying, laughing and most of all-- learning to reframe my life to LIVE with systemic sarcoidosis has been my path.

I have been blessed to spend these years with all of you-- I took over partial ownership shared with Darlene several years ago. It was an incredible time of developing a library of articles that all of you can utilize to learn about your disease. Countless hours were dedicated to figuring out how to LIVE with sarcoidosis. All of that information is at your fingertips.

This last year, I found that I had to take time off, away from the group and work on my health. I have managed to change a large portion of the direction my health was going by changing my diet and discovering what food sensitivities (not the same as food allergies) and have eliminated wheat, oats and dairy from my diet. I started on a Liver Cleanse back in April, after being told to "get my affairs in order" by my cardiologist. I was having heart attacks nightly, and am not a candidate for heart lung transplant.

Since the change in diet, and the fantastic help with my health regime, I was able to get off my Remicade, Plaquenil, Methotrexate, Prednisone, Effexor, Motrin, Flexeril, Insulin and glucophage and am no longer diabetic. I've lost 65 lbs-- and the heart attacks have stopped. I still have sarcoidosis, always will-- but the neuropathy, the systemic "inside" the bone pain, the joint and ligament pain have gone from a 8-12 on a 1-10 scale, down to a 3-4. I am still on oxygen, and will need to continue it-- as my heart and lungs have developed pulmonary hypertension due to the damage of the sarcoidosis.

Today, I take a thyroid pill and a blood pressure medication-- and ten different whole food supplements that are taylored for my particular needs.

I cannot tell you that the biological drugs will work-- after almost 5 years on Remicade at an extremely (maximum) dose of 10mg/kg every 28 days, my body decided to revolt. I developed cellulitis, and lymphedema from the last infusion I had in April-- and knew that to continue it would kill me. It was killing me.

Guys, it worked for a long time-- and i'm grateful for that. It gave me the time to find what has been my saving grace-- and it isn't in traditional medicine.

A few weeks back, I had an online conversation with Rose, and told her that I felt that it was time I move on. I have spent again, numerous hours in thought and prayer- and feel that what is best for me is to leave the group, focus on my health and recovery, and I can do that knowing that Rose, Darlene, Marla, Debbie, and will carry on.

I leave you in their compentent, loving hands and hearts, and know you will be in my prayers. I hope that each of you finds a path that you are comfortable with and that you continue to research your disease. Knowledge is power-- and as we keep learning, we give ourself the best gift possible-- Quality of life.

My blessings to all of you,

Sincerely, with love,

Tracie, I don't even know where to start, I already miss you, and know I will miss you so much more, But I totally understand what you're saying, and support you 100%, will keep you in my prayers, and hope it's not too much to ask you to stop by and let us know how you are when ever you feel like it.

I have a local man, that would interested in working with me with the Standard process, cleaning, and so forth.  I am thinking about doing it, but staying on the remicade, as I'm so afraid of going off anything just yet, hopefully he can help me get off them. 

Tracie, you are an inspiration to me, a fresh voice, and someone who has helped me so much in my  life, not just medications,but being there for me, helping me through all the hard times,and sharing the good ones, I know I will miss you so much., but it's time for you to forge ahead,and do as much living as you can, and take care of your self too. 

I am always here for you ,you know just where to find me, if ever needed.Love you Tracie, Marla MarlaJust one day at a time, That's all God ask of us. for there never really is a tomorrow, as that too

is just today:)
