Year Condition Began: 2009


IN JUNE OF 2008 I BECAME VERY ILL MY LEGS WERE LIKE BALLOONS,  I COULDN'T WALK FOR THE PAIN AFTER SEEING NUMEROUS DOCTORS I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A LUNG BIOSPY TO CONFIRM MY DIAGNOSIS. I WAS TOLD I EITHER HAD LYMPHOMA OR SARCOIDOIS.  MY BIOSPY CONFIRMED SARCOIDOIS.  I NOW HAVE IT IN MY LUNGS MY JOINTS AND MY NERVOUS SYSTEM.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I also have it in my lungs and Neuro sarcoidosis. I just lost the hearing in my left ear. Remicade worked great for the lungs for me. It doesn't work for the brain or nervous system. I'm also on steroids now.
