Question
hello gary.. i was wondering if u know if there are signs if sarcoidosis is "flaring up" ? i was diagnosed with it a few months ago, but they say its inactive at this time.. what can i expect in the future and treatments are available?  thank you, reba

Answer
Hi Reba
I think the best thing that i can do is direct you to a reputable website that will answer many, if not all, of your questions. I like the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute website. Here's a link to it. It's a good basic reference to many conditions. this link should take you straight to the sarcoidosis pages. All the best

Will attempt to answer any question on respiratory disease, but please don`t ask me to make a diagnosis. Although I`ve worked as a respiratory specialist nurse in the UK for 6 years, I know nothing about the health systems of other countries. I have a particular interest in asthma, COPD, spirometry, and tuberculosis.
