April is Sarcoidosis awareness month. As some of you already know I suffer with this incurable auto immune disease. Prior to researching and finding some non invasive natural treatments, such as a 100% gluten free diet and taking Curcumin, somedays the pain of simply taking a few steps would bring tears to my eyes. Since finding some alternatives to the treatments for sarcoidosis which I decided I did not want to participate in because they consist of Heavy steroids and methotrexate(a chemotherapy drug). I have been able to control many of my symptoms naturally. The disease is in my lungs, my sinuses, my ankles and wrists and I have skin lesions on my legs, head and face and I am blind in my left eye(my eye was removed at age 2 due to an unknown growth which I now believe was a granuloma from the sarcoidosis) and do have some inflammation in my right eye. My mother passed at the age of 65 due to what they deemed as Sclerosing cholangitis, which is a byproduct often seen in sarcoidosis. I was diagnosed with the chronic version through a biopsy in 2007, which means I unfortunately do not have the type that will go into permanent remission. I am NOT asking for sympathy, I am asking that you become aware of the disease and make others aware so more research will be funded. As many of you also know, I do not let this disease bring me down or slow me down. When I am hurting I take a few deep cleansing breaths and PUSH through the pain and I will continue to do so until one of us goes down(me or the Sarc). Thanks for becoming aware. youtube/watch?v=VLKbg1nSlzs Thank you for taking a few moments to watch and share
