1) To help people find information about sarcoidosis.

2) To encourage you to make a donation to one of the following sources for either Sarcoidosis Research or Sarcoidosis Care:

• Texas State University Sarcoidosis Research
• The Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research
• The Cleveland Clinic (Specify for Sarcoidosis Research)
• The Mayo Clinic (Specify for Sarcoidosis Research)

The registrar of National Day Calendar has designated the 30th day of April, of each year, as National Sarcoidosis Day.

Sarcoidosis Awareness

Many years ago, when I was first diagnosed with sarcoidosis, the doctors did not know what was going on. It was then misdiagnosed. Today, over 35 years later, the same scenario is repeated over and over again! This disease does terrible things throughout the human body. The doctors then concluded I was dying. They asked if they could experiment with massive doses of prednisone.  Prednisone is still one of the primary drugs used to control sarcoidosis. It does not heal, it only attacks the body and the body becomes a war zone.
