Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis a little over a year ago.....I am not a smoker....it affected the lymphs on the exterior of my lungs. All were biopsied, and no cancer was found, but when I asked what caused it 8 specialists said I Don t Know . They treated me with steroids which to a diabetic is lethal.....It has taken me the year to lose a little over 70 pounds....but I still have no clue what causes this.....what my future holds with this......and how they can treat something they have no clue what it is caused by?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the sarcoidosis it is actually collection of inflammatory cells mostly happening in the lungs and the cause of the disease is unknown but it could be genetically constituted, controlling the disease gives excellent result hope this information help, take care and have a nice day.
