Sarcoidosis

Can be active in many areas of the body without causing obvious symptoms.


Which is often called💭

"Silent"

or

“Asymptomatic Sarcoidosis”

 

Misinterpreting 

The Face of Sarcoidosis

When...

Contrary to common —Misconceptions, sarcoidosis affects more than just the lungs in …approximately 90% of cases; as it is a multi-system disorder.


The cause of sarcoidosis is not known

Sarcoidosis has been around for atleast 150+years--

■■There is no cure for sarcoidosis■■ So, the worse case scenario is to prolong the worse from happening as long as possible. 


Sarcoidosis can cause #Extreme fatigue and affects up to 85% of people with sarcoidosis, causing debilitating tiredness that impacts daily life.







 










I really need to point this out💭


What you're not seeing is that when you focus on symptoms; it is also focus on the-delay of and the progression of... sarcoidosis and its complications.  

This is unseen but, the secret to the management of --sarcoidosis💭

- Most people don’t realize that I’ve been living with sarcoidosis for over 10 years.

My Journey with Sarcoidosis…

It’s more than a diagnosis—it’s an experience.

I don’t share these stories for myself—
I share them for YOU.

"You are the Blueprint"
When you have SAR•KOY•DOSIS

As know 2 people are affected by sarcoidosis in the same exact way!

Conversely, Sarcoidosis will be unique to you if you will...

Why--
Sarcoidosis, is "mysterious" because it's a multisystem disorder!

 

Long story short--

Conversely, because sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder, with potential implications for nearly any organ, including the skin, eyes, heart, liver, and brain to be affected.

 

🖇️It's important to note, " Granulomas" can appear in multiple an or various organs/various parts of the body even at the same time ; but most commonly for some affect the lungs, lymph nodes, heart, skin, and eyes. 


Sarcoidosis When Your@Home💭

  — Sarcoidosis is characterized by the "formation of small/tiny, if you will abnormal clumps of tissue called --Granulomas", which are  “collections” of “Inflammatory Cells”. 
-- Hence,

 Sarcoidosis is an systemic inflammatory disorder!

 

📎Systemic, disorder meaning it can affect the whole body.

#How you think about-sarcoidosis "Heavy lies the crown" metaphorical speaking despite outward appearances for most that have sarcoidosis💭

 

Sarcoidosis, is a multi-system inflammatory disorder that exhibits characteristics similar to autoimmune disorders. Although it shares some features with and responds to immunosuppressive treatment like autoimmune disorders, sarcoidosis stands as a systemic inflammatory disorder.

 

"The notion that sarcoidosis is solely a pulmonary (Lung) condition is a common misconception; when in reality, there are various forms of #Sarcoidosis, each requiring a unique treatment approach" based on which part of the body affected by sarcoidosis.

Skin Problems

Sarcoidosis can manifest in the skin with symptoms like discolored skin, raised patches, sores, and bumps. These skin issues can be not only physically uncomfortable but also emotionally challenging to deal with.

 

          Sarcoidosis can cause many skin problems, including:

 

Bumps: Small, tender bumps that can be red, purple, brown, tan, or skin-colored. They can be smooth or rough, and are often located on the shins, ankles, face, neck, or upper body.

Raised patches: Also called plaques, these can be smooth or scaly and can appear on the skin.

Discolored skin: Areas of skin that are darker or lighter in color.

Sores: Disfiguring lesions that can appear on the nose, cheeks, or ears.

Nodules: Growths under the skin, especially around scars or tattoos. Scars from previous trauma, surgery, venipuncture, or tattoos may become infiltrated and appear red or purple. 

Additionally, When the inflammation affects the skin, it is called ■cutaneous sarcoidosis■ or ■sarcoidosis of the skin■. Sarcoidosis of the skin can look many ways! The most common lesions are small bumps & broad, raised skin lesions/patches.

 

Neurologic Symptoms

Neurologic Sarcoidosis may present with vision problems, headaches, weakness, and numbness. These symptoms can significantly impact your daily activities and quality of life.

Musculoskeletal Impact

Sarcoidosis can affect your musculoskeletal system, leading to joint stiffness, muscle pain, bone lesions, and limited mobility. Managing these symptoms can be challenging and may require a personalized treatment plan.

Cardiac Effects

When it comes to the heart, Sarcoidosis can cause arrhythmias, heart block, cardiomyopathy, and pericarditis. It's crucial to monitor your cardiac health closely and work with healthcare professionals to manage these issues.

In Short---

What Happens is...  Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that occurs when the immune-system "type activity" if you will ... overreacts, causing abnormal collections of inflammatory cells called granulomas to form in the body's organs. 

 

The immune system type activity blah blah blah... creates inflammation to help defend  against germs and sickness.

 

 

But in #Sarcoidosis, "Inflammation goes off track" and the cells in the immune system; Hence... form lumps, called granulomas in the body.

 

 

  • Over time, "Inflammation" may lead to permanent scarring and damage of organs!

So your tired!
