I have been diagnosed with sarcoidosis, anyone else have this lung disease?


I just had a lymph node biopsy where the dr ended up removing 4 very large nodes, still waiting to hear of the outcome. Just wondering if anyone else is going this and how you are dealing with it and what "cures" are there?

There does not seem to be any way to prevent sarcoidosis. Some good info at the link below.

This was a very good website. I am a white female age 54 and have had sarcoidosis for about 10 years. I am not on prednisone on a daily basis, but have to take it now and then for coughing problems.
I have to stay on advair 50/500, nasonex, singular. I have acquired asthma.Good luck. Report It
