Hi, I had a lung inflamation problem some years ago with fever and short
breath. I took a lot of tests but it was never concluded what my problem
was. They suspected Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsic allergic
alveolitis) but I do not fit with the profile of people that normally
get this desease (farmers and bird breeders). However, I got better and
now this problem is rare. However, last 6 months I have an increasing
problem with urticaria. I also sometimes get a painful version of heart
burn that I find is best treated with Zyrtec. I also sometimes get
swollen lips. I am questioning myself if this combination of different
symptoms may indicate sarcoidosis or if it just indicates that I have
unknown allergies. I am positively tested for allergy of birch pollen
and bed mites, but not for any other allergy (and I did a lot of tests).
Any views on this and how I can find out if I have sarcoidoses or not?

I have just learned I have Sarcoidosis, after having a biopsy of the
lungs. After much time on the net for natural cures and or treatments, I
would like to ask if anyone has heard of or has used a product called
Serrapeptase? I was first told I had stage four lung cancer, then my
biopsy came back with the Sarcoid report. Please answer if you have any
thing on this product Thank you Sandy

I was diagnosed with sarcoid in August 2009. My symptoms started with
sore, red lumps on my legs and sore joints. I was struggling with
EVERYTHING! It got to the point that I had to ask for help to get out of
bed and get dressed. I couldn't pick up my daughter(she was 1 yr at the
time) and started going into depression because I felt like a failure as
a mom. I was prescribed prednisone (15mg for a week, 10mg for a week
then dropped to 5mg for a total of 2 months) and ibuprofen for the pain
and swelling. While I was taking the meds I felt great,but once I ran
out of meds the nodules on my legs started coming back and the pain came
soon after. Dr. prescribed more prednisone but doubled the dosage. This
time the meds lasted for about 3 months... and now everything is coming
back again. I have an appointment to get a biopsy on one of the nodules
on my leg next week, but I can't take my prednisone until after. My last
doctor also prescribed methotrexate in conjunction with prednisone, and
I have had 2 panic attacks in the last 3days. Has anyone else had a
problem with panic attacks on either medicine or while taking them both?

My husband was diagnosed with sarcoidosis about 7 years ago. It is
sickeningly helpful to read your comments and to know we are not alone
in the fatigue, aching, shortness of breath and granuloma camp. Thank
you for sharing. We have a question. Has anyone had, or is it possible
to develop a granuloma in the prostate? My husband had an elevated PSA,
which resulted in biopsies that were negative. The ultrasound did show a
possible small cyst? We just had a recheck which showed the PSA has
doubled. He also occasionally has "stabbing" pain in his privates.
Anyone else? Again, I thank you for sharing. Becky
