    • Close Sarcoidosis

      Hello I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis 2 years ago after years of exhaustion, poor sleep and headaches.Finally, after a fall down stairs and heart failure,it was picked up.The problems with singing were the hardest to cope with as I'm a classical singer.Also chronic kidney disease from sarc. I was on Symbicort but now on the Marshall Protocol.I sing again and find it easier to do housework, gardening and care for my elderly mother. Going well!
