Back in January 2016 I got really sick. Being an asthmatic I assumed I was having an asthma attack and went to the doctors. No they said it was not asthma its your heart. So I was rushed to hospital, put through all the tests and monitoring. Go have a CT Angiogram - sure Did I have a heart attack NO Did I have blood clots in my lungs NO. What they did find was enlarged lymph glands and that meant another CT Scan and then an appointment to see a Chest Physician.
Sarcoidosis What in god's name is that?? Its an Auto Immune condition. How did I get it??? We dont know. How will you cure it??? We cant.
So now to the surgeon for a biopsy, then the allergy tests, blood tests and more CT scans. There is talk of a PET scan and a bone scan.
Auto Immune is not something my family ever suffered from. Heart conditions, strokes and cancer sure but Auto Immune??? NO. Well I guess it has to start with one of us and I guess that one is me.
