Crohn’s Disease, Sarcoidosis, Hip Surgery and whatever else I have!

Quick post here, 1st of course I was shocked as everyone was over the death of Bernie Mac. I guess alot of people have been searching Sarcoidosis now as a result of Bernie’s passing. I was shocked as well and want to offer my most sincere condolences to Bernie’s family and thank Bernie for the years of comedy, he was one of my favorite comedians ever! I was of course blown away by his untimely death, but even more so by the reports of him suffering with Sarcoidosis for years and years. It’s unclear the role this disease played in his death, but I’m to assume it had some role or else it wouldn’t be reported. I am watching CNN at the moment and they have covered Bernie’s death extensively referring often to the Sarcoidosis.

Scroll down a bit on my blog here, theres more on my Sarcoidosis and the technical definition/links. I don’t want to dwell on it again with this post but for those of you out surfing and found me and my site, I do have a little information you may find useful, mainly links. But certainly not the Sarcoidosis resource online. I have enough crap going on, my Sarcoidosis is just a very annoying bonus to my healths anti-lottery I won.

It’s a kooky disease and I have to be honest, I didn’t know it was this severe. I’m going to guess that Bernie didn’t know either. All this comes at a time too, when for the last several days I have been suffering through a pretty strong bout of Sarcoidosis pain in my chest. So it all hit home for me today. Luckily I have an appointment coming up with a pulmonary doctor to get started doing whatever, something, with my disease. As far as I know, which is little to nothing since this is such a new diagnosis for me, is there are no treatment options. It comes and goes, runs it course.

Figures.

If anything happens with that, my appointment I’ll be sure to post about it. I don’t expect anything to happen so,… maybe I’ll post some poetry in yiddish.

Oy!
