i had a bad cough that i could not get rid of for about 18 months and i kept going to the doctors. they kept telling me it was just an infection and to take some cough medicine. i also started getting night sweats and losing weight. so i kept going to my local surgery. eventually i found a young trainee gp who listened to me and sent me for a chest xray. after a couple of days i got a call saying could i come in as something had shown up ( i cant describe the things that went through my mind) she reassured me that it wasnt the big c but said there were a few things it could be and referred me to a chest clinic. they sent me for a open lung biopsy ( not something i would recommend) and eventually got a diagnosis and treatment (prednisolone and inhalers) . the sarcoid has now almost burnt out now but it has left me with asthma. i still have wheezy days and coughing fits but now with the help of my inhalers things are mostly under control.
Iâm so glad to hear that your health has improved. What wonderful news!
