  • This video contains a detailed and simplified explanation about sarcoidosis. We discuss the pathophysiology, presentation, investigations, complications and management of sarcoidosis.
    CORRECTION Sarcoidosis can cause a facial nerve palsy, not a Bells palsy (which is an idiopathic facial nerve palsy) - thanks to David Pennell for pointing this out.
    More written notes and diagrams about sarcoidosis are available on the website at www.zerotofinals.com/sarcoidosis.

    I had Sarcoidosis when I was 18 yrs and 27 years old both times was identical symptoms it started with the lungs for a couple weeks and then a rash like hives on my legs. My heel was so sensitive and red. Gradually I started to feel pain on my joints and I couldn’t breath. The level of pain was 11 it was unbearable I couldn’t dressed my self I had my husband help me. They gave me steroids and asthma medicine inhaler. It lasted for three months with praying and Gods help it left. I still have breathing problems so I use Breo inhaler and that has help so much. I’m also felt alone with no one who heard of Sarcoidosis. I’m in my mi 40s and have to get tests every time I’m having difficulty of breathing so far I’m ok. Praying for you all.

It's getting treated as a Cigarette smoker and Not a Sarcordosis Patient who has a different Respiratory History because my Lung Disease is Not the SAME as someone who Smoke Cigarettes.

    My nephew passed away from Sarcoidosis about 3 years ago. He was 35 or 36. He was asymptomatic for years. He coached two basketball teams. He actually found out he had it after playing full court basketball. He later couldn't breathe right so went to doctor. He told us the doctors were surprised he had been playing ball or running because his lungs were a mess. It's unbelievable how his health went down so fast. I think it was a year or so later that he passed away. He was my brother's youngest son. Very heartbreaking. He was a great guy who loved his baby daughter, his students and his community.

      Sorry for your loss. I have it as well. It keeps snatching my employment from me. First truly suffered from it the day after my 30th birthday. I'll be 50 in February. Been studying origins and human physiology along with being a pupil of holistic doctors, medicine, and lifestyle for about 4 yrs now. No pharmaceuticals whatsoever! Not even aspirin. But the disease reduced my vision from far better than 20/20 to blurred and cloudy with very annoying floaters. Then it attacked my skin above my ankles giving me terribly poor healing skin ulcers. I can't even begin to explain the intense pain at times. But I'm still doing diligence.

    I’ve had this disease for 10 years. I was initially told I had lymphoma and after many difficult moments with family members, I received a very pleasant phone call saying it was sarcoidosis all along. The doc was so happy to tell me that, I felt relieved. Little did I know. Over the years I’be only met two other people with sarc. You’re video is an easy way for newly diagnosed sarc patients to understand what could be happening along with what is going to happen next. Sadly many people, including doctors aren’t familiar enough with this disease. Please continue to make more of these videos.

    My mother just passed away last month from Sarcoidosis. She did have the double lung transplant that was a success but developed other issue due to all the different medications. The decease also spread to her lymph nodes and stomach and caused blood clots that formed in her small intestines which cause 95% of it to die. By time doctors saw the necrosis of the small intestines it was already too late. For anyone dealing with this disease, God bless you may He heal your body.

    I am a black female 63yrs old, I found out I had sarcoidosis in 2001. I kept a constant dry cough, I had nodules that came on my outer skin. For two years I kept going to a neurologist, in my city. And they couldn't figure out what was going on. Until I asked to go to the IU Hospital in Indianapolis, the doctor there discovered in 3 days that I had sarcoidosis. It had start affecting my walk , like stiffness arthritis.
    Thank God they started treating me with prednisone steroid, and thank God today, I no longer have a constant cough. I am still under doctor's care, twice out of a year I have to see my neurologist. Doctor James is such an awesome doctor. Again I thank God that he allowed me to find a good doctor that understood what I was going through. Because a lot of people have sarcoidosis and think that is asthma, because it affects your breathing. So again thank God for good doctors that know about sarcoidosis.👏🏽👏🏽

    I have Sarcoidosis in my left eyelid after 3x draining a chalazion. I do not have it in my eye, and I also have it on my right cheek right after I started Plaquenil. My CT was clear for any granulomas elsewhere. I've been dealing with chalazion for 2 years. Somehow it developed into a sarcoid in my eyelid and started growing toward the back of my socket. I had a biopsy done and it blew up terribly. I started on 60mg of prednisone then on Plaquenil. My eyelid still isn't healed completely and kept reopening on and off as the sarcoid shrank and inflamed. I had my biopsy done in late January 2020 and it's now July 19th 2020. Please, please, do your research on this and don't just prescribe drugs. I've noticed with clean eating and turmeric my symptoms are so much better. I also started putting black castor oil on my face and the change overnight was amazing. Went from cherry red to light pink. Also, please know these meds cause major hair loss. Vitamins are very important as these steroids suck the life out of you. So it's terrible all the way around. Not only will you get moon face, weight gain, hair loss, vitamin deficiency, mood swings, depression, but you are also fighting the effects of the sarcoid and whatever deformity that causes. Then you get into self esteem. Not to mention if you have it in your lungs and you can't breathe or you feel your heart isn't working. Be sensitive to these patients please.

I was treated with steroids, methotrexate and other drugs. I am now 82, and still Showa scarring in my lungs! My son inherited it from me. We both had it, plus both had to have an illeostomy because of ulcerated colitis. We have both had to have out rectums removed because of constant pain and bleeding. I was 21, my son was 18. No immune systems. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis too! It’s been a long sixty years for me! My son is now 64 and has suffered with these things for fifty years now. My other four children have been fine. No one in our family had ever had any of this! Guess we were just the lucky ones! Thanks for your explanations! Not much has changed, as they asked me if I had ever been in the deep south or lived in a basement. Told me it was more prevalent in black people. This was in 1969!

    Unfortunately, my oldest sister died from this disease in October 2000 at Northwestern Hospital, Chicago. As a family we donated her organs and tissues for further studies of this disease. We wanted others to learn more about it as well as studies about it because when she was diagnosed with it was back in the mid eighties by a dermatologist. Again only a few doctors was aware of this terrible disease and no regimented treatment for it. What I believe what really pushed this to the fore-front was the death of comedian Bernie Mack. Bernie Mack died at at the same hospital same ICU unit almost eight years later. Knowing that another family having to go through the same things as my family is unimaginable because I know that they wanted answers as well. Awareness, education, and medical treatment for those who have it was all I could think about.
    Everyone please know your family medical history and share it with other members. This is where awareness should begin and documented in your medical history. My best regards to everyone and their families.

Diagnosed EDS 2019 age 53 and its also genetic, few months later Horner syndrome, 2009 infections in my lungs almost died sinds that time every year infections in the lungs and doctor couldn't find why. Heart attack in 2020. It's a scary time not to understand what wrong. Now I learned to now my body. Fever higher or lower temperature lot's of sleep and now stress. Hope for more awareness about this diagnosis. Learn Ehler Danlos, lung, brain, heart and Horner syndrome can be a connection to Sarcoidose. Because the diagnosis EDS already speciale care, hope don't need more. So lucky for all the things I still can do. Wishing everyone strength and sending blessings 🍀

      You know how difficult it was watching your love one on artificial support. Watching your parents trying to wrap their minds around the facts of preparing to lose their first born daughter. It takes time to find a way to get through the loss of a loved one. Especially, special occasions such as birthdays, holidays and family get togethers. My advice will be to speak about all the happier times spent together, spread awareness about the disease. Setup a foundation with the name to help others. It's a journey believe me. May God continue to strengthen you and yours. Peace and blessings to you.

    For the first time I have a name to put to it all. In my 20's I developed erethema nodosum but no doctors knew what to do about them. I discovered on my own stress increased them but if I took between 1000-2000 mg of Vit C regularly it kept them away. If I stopped, they came back. Now, 50 years later it is rare to get the lumps.

I don’t know all what happened with her but I know at one time she had an oxygen tank and not sure if she still did but wasn’t using it as she should’ve, she had a large growth that looked like a hump on her shoulder and upper back removed, she lost a lot of weight and shuffled around or had help when walking as she got older, I do vaguely remember something going on with her lower legs like bruising or those spots you’re talking about, and her eyes turned blue she went blind in one eye and could barely see in the other one. And even with all that going on she still could keep her a man okkk! 😂 Even healthy women have an issue with that so I was like I see you Auntie and he took GOOD care of her cooking, cleaning, etc 💯 She lived longer than they expected and she lived with this for over 20 years before passing in Hospice at 56 around Thanksgiving on 11/26/16. So thanks again for helping me understand what her body was going through 💯

Maybe they were in different ways jealous of each other but money don’t equal good character and there are other measures of success other than material shii cause it’s plenty people with material things and good health who are still unhappy and jacked up relationships with their kids/family and no real friends or don’t know how to have fun with no personality or sense of humor I’ve seen both sides of the fence with my own eyes 💯 Its sad only time they truly came together and put mess aside are the times she would be in the hospital scared she wouldn’t make it even though by the grace of God she would bounce back until that last time. Plus the older I got and when I moved to Arkansas where she lived as she was real sick and to be around more plus starting over myself, I got to see her personality more and how when in her element playing spades and listening to her music not around bs she was funny, firey (she a Sagittarius) and could drop some real talk on you! 😂 I wish some things were different but just live for you and your kids despite what other people gotta say, take care of yourself and when you need the help I’m praying you have it! 🙏🏽💯💓

    Very easy to understand video which explained a lot to me. I believe that I have had sarcoidosis since October 2017 and it was misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia. All the signs were there, red raised lumps in my shins and the breathlessness along with all the muscle and joint pain, CRP levels were high and still It took a mamogram one year later to even suggest sarcoidosis. My rheumatologist didn't know what to look for in the way of symptoms and when she was on holiday her replacement read my notes and sent me for a CT scan which showed lung, lymph node and spleen involvement. I was transferred to the chest clinic and in the transfer letter to my surgery it stated that there was no sign of the condition. which caused major problems when it came to shielding letters. The consultant I have now is a brilliant well informed doctor who has my complete trust in his decisions. Many patients have difficult journeys to get to this stage and I can only hope that with recognition of sarcoidosis symptoms, it will make it easier for future medics to recognise and treat this condition.

      A lot of what you are saying has been my experience. I'm curious if you got a flu shot just before your symptoms in 2017? I, too, believe I have sarcoidosis(systemic), have been dx'd with fibromyalgia, but know that's not what I have. My Mom had systemic sarcoidosis. Unfortunately, she didn't get proper treatment and passed at 56 years young. I'm also curious to know what findings were found on mammogram? I have a nodule in breast that they've been following for 10 yrs now, plus lung and thyroid nodules and endless other symptoms that point to sarcoidosis, but can't find a doctor near me that understands sarcoidosis. Unfortunately, my ACE level is normal. I pray you and me both get proper diagnoses and treatment... hang in there!🙏🏻❤

      That is a big challenge! With complex conditions like sarcoid medical examiners are expecting you to be somewhat aware of the condition and some of the complications, but be able to recognise the "typical presentation" (which is often not the typical presentation in real life). Thats why I suggested thinking about sarcoid if the examiners present a 20-40 year old black female presenting with a dry cough and shortness of breath. They may have nodules on their shins suggesting erythema nodosum.

Also to rule out any other diseases, which doesn't mean you may not have them! Warrior Sister as you know Sarcoidosis doesn't have it's own drug nor a cure which we desperately need!
