It seems variable.

I worked with someone who suffered probably starting during the 1980s.

He was perhaps lucky and it didn't do too much major damage. Today he is semi-retired and gets by well enough. Mostly spinal problems and pain from that.

Treatment, there wasn't anything, just pain killers and hope it burns out.

yes my neurosarcoid started back in the 80s too.....then there wasnt much awareness of sarcoid, let alone neurosarcoid......my treatment then was with high dose steroids and also other antiinflammatories like methotrexate......it was, and still is a trial and error affair to get the sarcoid under control , and very much is geared to individual response.


these days the medical proffession is becoming more aware of sarcoid, but still not aware enough....hence the petition listed above..........sarcoid can cause permanent scarring of whatever organ involved, and it is essential to get the inflammation under control to minimise damage....also it mimics other illnesses, and is easy to misdiagnose a person, when in fact they do have sarcoidosis.




tim c...yes it is extremely variable...your friend was lucky, he has got through it with just painkillers.....steroids have been the first line of attact for some time now..
