Suggest Medication For Sarcodosis
I may have sarcodosis.I definitely have granular annulare which was bioposied by my primary care doctor and my dermatologist. the dermatologist has requested to see a chest x-ray. I have cardiac myopathy and have had grand mal seizures in the past. I am experiencing dizziness, fatigue, siniusis frequently, fevers and cold chills. the dermatologist is the one who thinks I have sarcodosis because my rash is spreading over my entire body and he put me on an antibodic minocycline 100 mg twice a day. he also wanted to give me predisone which I said I would not take. should I see a specialist for sardocosis

sarcoidosis specialists are hard to come by and I wouldn't waste your time if you're not interesting in taking prednisone or immunosuppressants as this is the treatment for most systemic diseases such as sarcoid. pulmonologists (lung) see this usease the most because it is a predominately a lung disease
