Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 and group, I'm not quite sure what to think. After a couple weeks of feeling as if no one was listening to me, I went to a dermatologist in hopes that someone could help me. I was previously told I had Rheumatic Fever back in January and treated with various medications for that. The derm took a biopsy of one of my nodules on my lower leg. The results are back and it's compatible with Sarcoid. He said something about a granuloma ??? That explains the "pneumonia" or lesion on my upper right lobe... as my Internal Med doctor said on Friday...though nothing showed up on reg x ray...the ct scan in the ER showed it and when he reviewed the ER report it said lesion. He said something about checking my lymph system. I asked him about my liver enzymes and asked if this could be the reason the #'s are so elevated and he said he didn't know....he's a dermatologist, but a darn good one and I'm grateful someone finally tried to help me. It still doesn't explain why I have such high strep results and why they still haven't gone down. My latest sore throat was a negative culture, so that's good. He spoke with my rheumo and my IM doc and they are going to discuss my case and get back with me about further treatment, which my derm said would be pretty aggressive. I'm not taking STEROIDS!! I'm not sure what to do, or what to think. My symptoms are that of RF....I thought. Everything seemed to fit perfectly, I felt better for a month and now I'm sick again. I had a feeling that something wasn't quite right with my treatment for RF, but I had no idea it was a totally different treatment than what I needed. Any info, help....what the heck is Sarcoidosis anyway? God Bless,Lorri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
