65 year old male. Diagnosed late last year. I've had it for at least two years before that.
Involvement with right eye, biopsy of mass there diagnosed sarco. I also have deep in my lungs, possible cardiac, still waiting on that, and it seems to be attacking my joints also.
I did a prednisone surge, starting with 30 mg, and started methotrexate. Now down to 2.5 mg of prednisone with only a week left before we cut it off. Currently taking 15 mg of methotrexate. 7.5 mg every Tuesday morning, and 7.5 mg every Tuesday night.
I also have a failed back. Going on 14 years dealing with that joy.
This sarcoidosis in my lungs is driving me nuts with the coughing, which aggravates my back, which causes me to start shallow breathing, which leads to more coughing. It's a very vicious circle.
Sadly I take way too many pills everyday dealing with health problems, chronic pain, and the depression that goes hand in hand with the chronic pain.
It will be nice to have people to talk to who understand my problems.
Thanks!
