Good and Bad News

Well Today I saw my Pulmonologist and I received the results of my Breathing test and my new CT scan. My breathing came in good, which I am amazed at. I told her she made me really sit there forever until she got a reading she wanted. The Ct scan shows some improvement, but with some crystals in the lower lobes, which he was not concerned about. Now I am worried as this is good but bad for me with my filing for SSI. They had to replace my job this last month and the new person starts this Monday, now what am I going to do. These doctors all told me that I had to apply and that I could no longer do my job and now when I asked well now what am I going to do, they did not know. I do not want to lose my house and everything, I still have kids at home. I know that I cannot go back to my job as the pain is so bad and we all know that by the middle of the day we cannot function. This disease needs to be listed.

Sarcoidosis and the Body
Sarcoidosis is a "multiorgan" disease - meaning it almost always involves more than one organ. It's unpredictable and affects different people in different ways.

You can learn about the ways in which sarcoidosis affects the body in FSR's Sarcoidosis and the Body brochure.
