Hi All!I hope everyone is in good health and good spirits!I'm wondering if anyone has ever had a sarcoid growth or granuloma underneath their skin?I have a growth under my skin on the tip of my index finger. It feels round and hard, and is about the size of a metal BB for a BB gun.I'm thinking it's a sarcoid granuloma, but I'm not sure, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had any similar type...

Hello, what a journey I've been on!  I became very ill in early January: daily excruciating headaches, weak, faint, absolutely no energy, weight loss, temp fluctuations, chest pain, and the struggle with sleep I'd had for years turned into a constant need for rest to try and recharge. I was out of breath just getting dressed. I thought maybe I had a weird virus so I tried to baby myself to see...

I have had this increase over the years. It doesn't impede me, but still I wonder if it's what this forum is about. I will cough and have hardened stone-like things appear. Sometimes they are already at my throught level. Other times I must cough hardly, like I mentioned. Is this what is going on?

Hello Everyone, My name is Peggy Rogers. I'm new to this forum. I've recently been diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis. I'm on 30mg prednisone. However I still have burning chest pain. I'm going to see a top sarcoidosis specialist in Charleston SC at the sarcoidosis center. I'm considering all my options. There are promising drugs in the pipeline by pharmaceutical industry. I found 2 companies...

My husband was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis last year and has seen a doctor but hasn't had any treatment.  He is now coughing a lot and coughing up blood and having a hard time breathing.  He is in Kansas working and I am in Florida and I am worried about him. He doesn't want to take any medications because of everything he has read on the blogs.  Any suggestions?  

Any recent posts regarding pulmonary sarcoidosis?

I was told by many that the herbal supplement aloe vera mps was good for inflammation and boosting your immune system. Does anyone know anything about this? Has any one taken this at all? Can you tak this medicine while being on prednisone? Or do you have to be off prednisone in order to take it safely? If any one knows anything about these questions I would love to hear your input. Thanks again.

I am concerned that I might have something like Wegener's Disease or GPA. I am having various problems including Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 and fatigue which causes me to be falling asleep during the day when watching TV. I find it hard to concentrate at times. I am going to my Kidney doctor next week. I am feeling depressed about my situation.

Anyone familiar with Marshall's Protocol?

Hi everyone!I suffered from Sarcoidosis, fortunately, I am clean now! I believe that this experience changed my life in ways I never expected before! That is why I decided to start a blog focused on that. It would mean a lot to me if you check it out, share your thoughts, experiences or even request discussion topics. Many people out there need inspiration! My goal is to help people connect and...
