My Sarcoidosis
In 1985 I had a cough that would not stop no matter what the doctor did. It was a few months of prednisone and different other medications and it finally subsided . Dr. had no explanation as to what was wrong . In 2003 I became severely ill with again of a lot of coughing, and a multitude of some serious problems. Landed me in the hospital for weeks off work for over a year. Every test and every doctor known to mankind was on my case. It was then before that they figured out I had pulmonary sarcoidosis. I was put on prednisones 60 mg daily for over two years. That in itself I thought was going to kill me . Had a multitude of other issues because of that . Then I was finally able to go back to work as a nurse . In 2011 my pulse rate was 32 with heart symptoms. Come to find out I had cardiac sarcoidosis and then they put a ICD pacemaker in to regulate my heartbeat. Since then I've had no other major issues. I did have to go on disability in 2012.
