I want to know if I have Sarcoidosis or possibly something else? |
I am a white male, 28 years old. Based on these symptons over the last two years what could I have: lower back pain, joint pain, ankle inflammation, terrible fatiguie and malaise, weight loss, enlarged lymph nodes (chest x-ray), fast heart rate, intermittent pain in various parts of the body of varying degree (Especially the lower back and chest), bulging veins on hands and forehead, facial pressure & numbness, lots of mild headaches, arms and legs tingle and numb easy, diffuculty concentrating, floaters in eyes, flickering light in the bottom right hand corner of one eye, yellow tint to skin and yellow eyes, chronic constipation, hypertension. The only objective signs were: enlarged lymphnodes around lungs, swollen red ankles, yellow skin and eyes, obvious unexplained weight loss, hypertension, elevated sed rate, elevated C-reactive protein, high billirubin count. I have also noticed within this time frame an unusual amount of hair falling out of my head without some common pattern baldness. For the last 2 years I have been to 10 different doctors and have had so many tests done. For the most part the Doctors were looking at Sarcoidosis but I was never told for sure. Please give me some ideas. Sarcoidosis is an "Orphan Disease", meaning that there are no organizations supporting research to end the disease. When enough people die of it, there will be action taken, but not until then. It's also baffling to Docs, because there are very few definitive signs of surefire diagnosis. |
