Living with sarcoidosis, the good, the bad, and lots of in between.

Sarcoidosis sufferer.

Unsure how to start this, Friday 15th October my lung biopsy confirmed I had Sarcoidosis…

In 2000 my dentist could not fathom out what was going on with my gums though he did ask if I had diabetes? As my breath sometimes smelt and tasted somewhat metallic-ish which are symptoms, I got checked for diabetes and was all clear. Then at the Leeds dental hospital it was mentioned that my gums seemed to be over reacting to plaque and food etc. but no further action was required. In 2001 I told my X wife something felt not right with me, was it all in my mind that I just did not feel ok but continued with work and cycling. I told all this to my boss. Read here.

    I’m 31 yrs old with two kids .over just be diagnosed with sarcoidosis .I’m having a biopsy on my lungs this week. and also a 24 hour hour monitor fitted. I’m quite scared .I woke up almost a month ago with erythema nodosum and couldn’t walk for 2 weeks as every joint in my body ached (including my jaw) then I started getting heart palpitations and shortness of breath and ended up in hospital for a week.im now resting at home and only been given normal painkillers. I have pain in my lower stomach and sides and back.also have a pain at the bottom of my foot? I’m scared of having another flare up and being like this forever 🙁 it’s horrible how you wake up one day and can’t do simple things anymore without struggling 🙁
