How many of you have chronic systemic sarcoidosis?

trying to find out how many of us with this rare illness

I was diagnosed a few years ago as having sarcoidosis, but not the chronic type.

Someone very close to me suffers from it.

uh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I've never had it, although my mom had two friends with it. One went to her doctor and was treated with modern medication, which often times irritated her diabetes and later led to further health problems. Unfortunately, after a long battle, she passed away in July 2005. The other person my mom knew that had it, chose a holistic approach to her treatment and has lived with sarcodosis for many years now, although not always in great health. Good luck!
