Sarcoidosis Support Group
Sarcoidosis is an immune system disorder characterised by non-necrotising granulomas (small inflammatory nodules). Virtually any organ can be affected, however, granulomas most often appear in the lungs or the lymph nodes. Symptoms can occasionally appear suddenly but more often than not appear gradually.
I have just been diagnosed with sarcoidism. I am in so much pain that I can barely type here. Anyone who has any idea what I am feeling please contact me. I would really like to make some fiends with others who know what I am going through. To any one who has sarcoidism my prayers are with you and I wish you lots of luck,love,and support!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart.

What type and level of Sarcoid do you have, did they say?
Mine in in my lungs, caused Pulmonary Fibrosis, now Pulmonary Hypertension, on prednisone for 2 years, coudamin and now Oxygen..going on the transplant list soon.
But have faith, My doc says I am the extreme, most people with Sarcoid go into remission and it never bothers them again....I must caution though that my brother also has sarcoid, though not as bad, in his eyes and lungs..and he goes in and out of remission..so it varies.
My only advice is to try to live as normal as you can, for as long as you can and hopefully your's goes into remission.
