Worst Flu Ever!!!

Feb 6, 2016

By: Elizabeth


On a cold winter afternoon in January of 2012 I felt the scratchy feeling of a cold coming on.  When I awoke the next morning I couldn't speak, nauseated and vomiting, I knew it must be the flu.  However I did not get well, after two weeks of this nonstop illness the search began.

Then came the next three months of in and out of the hospital still without any answers.  During this time I lost over sixty pounds and had no income. Unable to work or function, I felt life slipping away.  Then on one of my trips back to the hospital, resident working with the attending doctor bought up the possible of Sarcoidosis. Soon chest X-rays were ordered, then CT scans with the grand finally a lung and lymphoid biopsy.  We has the DX!!!!!
