WELCOME !!

I have Sarcoidosis. This is a chronic auto-immune disease. It can affect any organ or tissue in the body. I am always happy to hear from anyone who has this disease, or anyone who has a friend or relative who has this disease. There is a lot of information available on the WEB. If you have any questions would like to share your experience, please E-Mail me. bertk523@aol.com

My symptoms include facial paralysis, uveitis (eye inflammations), hair loss, weight loss, hearing loss, sinus problems, diabetes, parotid glands (spit glands in the back of the mouth), balance problems, peroneal paralysis (nerve in the leg). I have recovered from many of these symptoms. I credit my recovery to: great doctors and medicine; my own efforts in exersize and therapy; and my faith - my prayers and the prayers of friends and family - God is mighty!

I am a mother, daughter, and wife as well as being employed full time. I will answer all E-Mails, but please be patient.

Many thanks to those who put information on the WEB before me. Without it, I would have had a more difficult time researching this disease. There are chats on AOL where I have "met" others who share this disease.

God bless all who visit this site.
