Sarcoidosis Starts in the Past💭
Sarcoidosis, starts somewhere and that somewhere was my eye.
I woke up and couldn't see--
Yes, I woke up totally blind in 1 eye and I hadn’t had any noticeable symptoms or anything… - That something was wrong.
I didn't have Pink eye....
🖇️Sarcoidosis extends far beyond its visible symptoms💭
Pun intended-- It was Sarcoidosis-
- Ocular Sarcoidosis -
I remember, asking a friend to drive me to the ER and later too my —medical eye doctor appointment to see an ophthalmologist—
My friend didn’t believe me that I couldn’t see
…
Remember, me not seeing at all in one eye was out of the blue for me too….
Hence,
When-
Beyond, what you think you see is...
My Mantra💭
-The Face Of Sarcoidosis...
But, most people are distracted by the Face Of Sarcoidosis causing senearios of — Delay and Help in reverse…

I remember my medical eye doctor, writing on a piece of paper, while he said - You have one of theses 5 disorders… The 1st four were Autoimmune disorders and the 5th was Sarcoidosis which is an inflammatory disorder, followed by him telling me to google all 5 for more information. The reasoning is that no doctor has time to go into detail within a 15 minute office visit; and I understand that — Hence, the Journey began, when he said -
Of the 5 I think you have sarcoidosis.
I digress-
Make it make sense, I couldn’t see—
I wanted to know what was wrong with me…
They couldn’t see that I
couldn’t see
But...
Mean while, when I say mean while I-mean for years, people were telling me— I look fine and even that — I don’t look like nothing was wrong with me: even in the face of vision lost that was not guaranteed to return!
The craziness got crazier and lasted years because — What does sarcoidosis look like! #Anyways
The short version, is it took 10+ years for me to be officially —diagnosed with sarcoidosis blah blah blah….
Sarcoidosis starts in the past💭
Who knew—
Off the rip— unbelievably…
This was the beginning, looking well, but was I— ergo., For more* info go to my website www.about-sarcoidosis.com thoughts of how some people at that time, treated me (and by that I mean everyone except my eye doctor) —When you don’t look sick, or heck., #SickSick -Pre a diagnosis of —sarcoidosis… cause it took a minute! Before, I was diagnosed with —sarcoidosis and officially diagnosed with —sarcoidosis.
