WHAT IS SARCOIDOSIS?
PRONOUCE: SAR-COY-DOE-SIS
Sarcoidosis is an
inflammatory disease that may affect many different parts of the body. Small
round spots, called granulomas, form in various organs. The spots hinder normal
functioning of those organs. The lungs are the most commonly affected organs.
Granulomas in the lung leave less space for the air exchange that needs to take
place. This can cause the lungs to stiffen. Other commonly affected organs are
the skin, eyes, liver, and lymph nodes. Rarely, the brain may be affected.
Causes Scientists do not know what causes sarcoidosis. It seems to be related
to malfunctioning of the immune system. The disease may possibly be triggered
by an infection or exposure to a toxin in the environment. Some people may be
more susceptible to sarcoidosis due to genetic or environmental factors. Risk
Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a
disease or condition. Risk factors for sarcoidosis include: ■Age: 20 to 40 ■Sex: female AND MALE ■Ethnic descent:
African-American, Northern European, Scandinavian, and Irish Symptoms. Symptoms
vary and can occur in different parts of the body, depending on where the
granulomas form. Most symptoms develop in the lungs, skin, eyes, and liver.
Multiple body systems may be affected. Symptoms may come and go. This disease
is often acute, but in some patients it is chronic, waxing and waning.
THIS INFORMATION IS FOR ANYONE WHO HAS SARCOIDOSIS OR KNOWS
OF SOMEONE WITH THIS AUTO-IMMUNE DISORDER.

SARCOIDOSIS QUIET THUNDERSTORM
Unlike the meteorologists who often give accurate
weather predictions of storms approaching your city. Sometimes the storm may
come in the middle of the night while you were sleeping without you even
hearing the rain showers and thunder claps but when you woke up in the morning you
realized that your car is wet with rain drops and the tree branches and leaves
were blown all over the yard. Sarcoidosis
is just like that quiet thunderstorm it can come and go without warning. At
times it can attack your body with such fiery and rage and other time it kind
be mild mannered. Often sarcoidosis can
be mistaken for flu like symptoms, severe bronchitis, walking pneumonia, but on
a very rare occasion sarcoidosis has
been misdiagnose for Fibro myalgia, Muscular dystrophy, Lupus or other
auto-immune diseases. Prayfully I hope this blog will provide more insight about this disease and comfort to those in need of help.
Angelic Hearts of Sarcoidosis Organization is support group for everyone who has Sarcoidosis, knows someone with it or lost somebody from it. I'm trying to spread the awareness about Sarcoidosis because it's not commonly talked about it's rare and misunderstood auto-immune disease that need more research and a cure for it. I think the characteristic of sarcoidosis is taken likely and it shouldn't be. Everyday is something new in dealing with Sarcoidosis that I've been experincing and want to share with others. Please feel free to leave comments, share stories and experiences, whatever your thoughts are lets talk about it. Thank you in advance for your support. Much love and God Bless to everyone.
