My life with sarcoidosis

I graduated nursing school July 2, 2004. That night I felt awful, my legs were killing me. I went to the Dr that next week. This started my new life. I was sent to OU physicians. It took 18 and many test to figure out what I had. I didn't fit the "norm". I take care of myself and my family is amazing. My body has changed, not for the better, but that's okay. Some days I just lay in bed and cry. I have learned so much since starting this journey and I wish everyone the best. Keep up the fight.
