The demon of breathing issues with Sarcoidosis

Having sarcoidosis isn't a fun thing, and at time cause issues in your life by keeping you away from doing the simple things . I remember when my jour any started, I was in the ER at less 3 times a year from abdominal pains. I was having them so much, I just started calling them  episode it event was an unknown unpredictable high intense event.
Every time, I went to the ER I would get the same old explanation, your blood work is fine and everything is normal. This went on for 5 years, I did have a few doctors that told me it was stress and that my current situation I needed to either leave my husband or get maid etc. I remember thinking to myself, "ok stress, everyone has stress this isn't an real issues".

Five years has past when I started to know that I was having breathing issues walking up steps. Hmmmm, maybe it's because I am getting older?" this was my thought of a 25 year old. Funny, how I thought 25 years old was getting old. Anyways, this went on for a few months and I decided to go see my intern doctor because I was having those abdominal pains. She decided to do a CT scan of my abdominal and when the results where in she called me. "Well, your liver,stomach looks fine but the radiologist noted that you have nodels on your lower lungs. The radiologist got a second option because he was concern but the lead radiologist told him, that the models where on the previous scan and it's nothing new".
What the heck!!!!! I told my intern doctor. "Are you serious?" This is/was the first time I heard of this with my lungs. Lord, knows I was hot as hell……to know a conversation and a decision was made on my health without consulting me, At this point, I told my intern doctor"This is my life and my body, I will make the determine factor if this issue is important or not". My intern agree with me and set me up for a biopsy of my lungs.
The results came in…had had sarcoidosis of the lungs.



As patients, we give doctors that power over us to determine what's important with  our health. This is know as the GOD SYMPTOM. The doctors are people just like us…..they don't call Practice Medicine, Practice for nothing.

This event in my life was just a peek into how the bulk of doctors look at their patients and how as patient we give them control. At the end of the day, if they make a mistake with your health it only effects they pockets(money). As far you go, you get to live with the mistakes they have made. Money can not fix, the pain you suffering or scars you are life with for the remaining of your life.

Insight:
You have been with your body from the beginning and know one knows more about your body then you do. Stand up for yourself…the doctors work for you, if they doctor does not meet find ONE THAT MEETS your demands.
