Whoa! Sorry. What's sarcoidosis? They're always talking about it on House, but I guess I didn't pay attention when they said what it does. No hormones at all? Must have some crazy genetics?
Sarcoidsis is an auto-immune disease. Bernie Mac died not too long ago from it. It is most commonly found in the lungs, but can be anywhere in the body, even the eyes. I have it in my lungs and heart. I had surgery on my heart to repair the arrhythmia it caused and was on prednisone for 10 months for my lungs. During that battle I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed this past August. I still had the cells in my body after that surgery and went through radiation. I go through many tests (blood, CT, ultra-sound, full body scans) every couple months, in fact I just went through my last set less than a month ago and due for another bout of radiation and scans mid September. I'm on a pretty strict diet and have busting my ass in the gym daily, not to mention up at 4:30 every morning doing cardio. I'm sorry if I look old or weathered to you but I've earned every line on my body and damn happy I'm still here to wear them.
