What is sacradosis. I know somebody who has it, that got it from a moldy building?

Answer 1

Do you mean sarcoidosis? There's an excellent web site below that tells all about it. I have copied and pasted just part of it for you. I suggest that you click on the web site and copy it for yourself and your friend. I think that your friend would truly appreciate it.
What Is Sarcoidosis and How to Fight it?
In the following reports you can learn about sarcoidosis, and autoimmune diseases in general. You will have a better understanding of sarcoidosis after reading these reports.
Sarcoidosis shares much in common with other autoimmune diseases. Research on any particular one usually, but not always, applies to the other autoimmune diseases. They have similar underlying causes and conditions, and consequently similar ways of dealing with them.

The main symptom that labels an autoimmune disease as sarcoidosis is a type of inflammation with granulomas. Most commonly they are found in the lungs, skin, lymph nodes, liver or spleen. Often they go away after a few years but even if they do that, they can come back later with a vengeance.

Some of the latest research has shown that it is bacteria in the granulomas that initiate and cause sarcoidosis. So this is definitely one autoimmune disease where antibiotics or supplements that kill bacteria or help the body to better kill bacteria can play a vital role.

These bacteria produce vitamin D. So people with sarcoidosis may suffer from vitamin D toxicity. Especially if they are out in the sun a lot, drink vitamin D fortified milk, or take supplements with vitamin D. This is completely different than an autoimmune disease like MS where there is usually not enough vitamin D. It may be advisable to test your vitamin D levels. If they are high drastically limit exposure to the sun and refrain from taking anything with added vitamin D. After several months elevated vitamin D levels would then start to level out.

You may experience Sarcoidosis in almost any part of your body, although it usually affects some organs more than others. It usually starts in one of two places:
Lungs
Lymph nodes, especially the lymph nodes in your chest cavity.
Sarcoidosis also often affects your:
Skin
Eyes
Liver.
Less often, sarcoidosis affects your:
Spleen
Brain
Nerves
Heart
Tear glands
Salivary glands
Bones and joints.
Rarely, sarcoidosis affects other organs, including your:
Thyroid gland
Breasts
Kidneys
Reproductive organs.
Sarcoidosis almost always occurs in more than one organ at a time.
Sarcoidosis has an active and a nonactive phase:
In the active phase, the granulomas form and grow. In this phase, symptoms can develop, and scar tissue can form in the organs where the granulomas occur.
In the nonactive phase, the inflammation goes down, and the granulomas stay the same size or shrink. But the scars may remain and cause symptoms.
The course of the disease varies greatly among people.
In many people, sarcoidosis is mild. The inflammation that causes the granulomas may get better on its own. The granulomas may stop growing or shrink. Symptoms may go away within a few years.
In some people, the inflammation remains but doesn't get worse. You may also have symptoms or flare-ups and need treatment every now and then.
In other people, sarcoidosis slowly gets worse over the years and can cause permanent organ damage. Although treatment can help, sarcoidosis may leave scar tissue in the lungs, skin, eyes, or other organs. The scar tissue can affect how the organs work. Treatment usually does not affect scar tissue.
Changes in sarcoidosis usually occur slowly (e.g., over months). Sarcoidosis does not usually cause sudden illness. However, some symptoms may occur suddenly. They include:

Disturbed heart rhythms
Arthritis in the ankles
Eye symptoms.
In some serious cases in which vital organs are affected, sarcoidosis can result in death.
Sarcoidosis is not a form of cancer.
There is no known way to prevent sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis was once thought to be a rare condition. It's now known to affect tens of thousands of people throughout the United States.

Answer 2

I have sarcoidosis. It nearly killed me. It was so bad, it was in my lungs and kidney's, It also affected my heart, and showed signs of it being in my liver. I became diabetic. I was actually starting chemo as they thought it was lupus. Got a lucky break with the xrays . I still get the joint pains really bad.
Every time I got pregnant it would show up and then l would either miscarry or get pre-eclampsia(went eclampsic with my son). At this stage l had a severe reaction to the blood pressure tablets (which almost killed me) They have not ruled out the sarcoidosis. It was always at the back of your mind when trying to get pregnant and what the risk has been for you and your family. I was lucky to have had 2 children and they were both prem at 7 1/2 months.

After the birth of my last child l had a mild dose of it and then, boom, early menopause at 42. Let me tell you the drugs that they give you can have this side effect. Look into the mediacation and the side effects and reactions you can have.
Tests are not always right. Doctors do make mistakes.
Listen to your body with this disorder. Rest, Rest, Rest.
I can no longer tolerate rice, pasta, bread, dairy as it now sets of skin disorders. I have adapted to what l can do and not what other people think l can do.
This is one of the hardest things to deal with. Other peoples views of you and what they think they understand of sarcoidosis.

I have read the answers to your questions and l hope what information l have passed gives you an insight to this immune disorder. Be aware of the treatments as much as the disorder itself, it can be jsut as bad.

Answer 3

All of the answers thus far are very useful. Just wanted to add that Sarcoidosis is suspected to be an autoimmune condition. Mold can cause lung problems though, and caause asthmatic reactions. A serious mold infection in the lungs is very difficult to resolve, and can be deadly, such as Aspergillosis.

Answer 4

SARCOIDOSIS (sar"koi-do'sis) involves inflammation that produces tiny lumps of cells in various organs in your body. The lumps are called granulomas (gran"u-lo'mahs) because they look like grains of sugar or sand. They are very small and can be seen only with a microscope.

These tiny granulomas can grow and clump together, making many large and small groups of lumps. If many granulomas form in an organ, they can affect how the organ works. This can cause symptoms of sarcoidosis.

Answer 5

Sarcoidosis is a multi system disorder characterized in affected organs by a type of inflammation called granulomas. The cause is unknown.

Answer 6

A number of studies have noted seasonal, geographic, occupational, and familial clustering of sarcoidosis. The disease has been reported to occur in health care workers, particularly nurses, more frequently than in controls.

the cause of sarcoidosis is not known

Answer 7

You may mean sarcoidosis. Now you can search the internet for it.
