Hello. My name is Marilyn and I have sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that affects any bodily organ. Specifically it almost always starts in the lungs. February of 07 I went in for a 6-week check-up following knee surgery. My doctor advised me that he wanted to do a ct scan because I was only 30 at the time and has had 4 surgeries to have tumors removed. Too young to be experiencing the problems that I was experiencing. Anyway I goes to get the ct done. Two hrs. later I gets to my surgical doctor for my check-up. He gets my test results back and what do you know, I have sarcoidosis. I have never heard of this disease. So he refers me to a pulmonary disease specialist asap. Two days later I'm getting all sorts of chest x-rays done, breathing tests, blood tests, etc...

Thank you so much for those words of encouragement. That really means a lot to me. It's good to hear from someone who knows what I'm going through. And may GOD bless you as well.
