Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thanks Jackie! Thanks Janet! I know I should have my eyes checked... just a procrastinator. About sarcoidosis, is this caused by Interferon? Its been 8 years since I did tx. I don't think its that. Probably just my eyes and mind are too tired. I haven't been sleeping well... enough sleep, but far off my normal schedule. You know the grass is always greener.... I'm one of the animals God gave big brains, but dogs and cats have no trouble sleeping. Thanks ladies, for the input. I'll look up sarcoidosis, but may have to wait until I get back to the states to see an eye doctor. Please don't be overly concerned. It is most kind of you, but as I've said before, I think things happen for a good reason. Maybe I just need to learn about sarcoidosis. Maybe I'll meet a lovely eye doctor. Maybe this will bring me something else I want or need in my life. But please don't worry! I'm not. I'm more concened with finding someone to have dinner with on Valentines Day. Eat well, sleep well, be well! Janet wrote: Like Jackie said go and get your eyes examined. I get the floaters too. Sometimes they are merely that. But on the safe side have your eyes looked at.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thank you Kathy, and everyone else! I'll see a doctor. OK? Just don't ask me when. I really feel this is a passing thing, perhaps caused by a drastic change in my ability to get to sleep. When I was little my sisters and I used to stay up as late as we could sometimes, and I remember seeing things move that could not have moved, and thinking I saw something that wasn't there. This is probably just that. Besides, I'm in China. I trust my hepatologist implicitely. But I haven't been to the dentist here. Nor will I go to the doctor with many other minor things. I see the doctor for my liver because she came to me. First in a dream, and then in the flesh. Sorry to worry you all, but I really just wanted to know if this was one of the symptoms of chronic liver disease. It sounds like yes, no, and maybe. What I found so far. "The cause of sarcoidosis is not known; however, this diagnosis is what is known as a "diagnosis of exclusion". This term is used for a disease that has no known cause" This means they spend lots of time and money making sure its not specific other things, and then if its nothing else they can name, it must be sarcoidosis. It sounds like a terrible thing to have. I'm sorry Jackie! And I'm sorry to everyone else, for disturbing your weekend. This too will pass. Don't worry, be happy! Eat well, sleep well, be well! kathy przybyla wrote: Please have your eyes checked. I am not Hep C...but Ihave had "floaters" since i was 12.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hi Well according to the studies I have looked at, Sarcoidosis is not life threatening unless it attacks your heart, lungs, kidneys etc,, most ppl it attacks the lungs and its really a weird disease because about 80% of those who have it spontaniously go into remission on their own, without any treatment,, but those who dont sometimes are treated with steriods,, and you dont want to use those anyway,,, so just take good care of yourself,, and get an eye check when you can and in the meantime, try to eat foods that have leutene in them or see if you can find a good supplement for eyes,, Its probably not Sarcoidosis but it can sometimes be in your body for years and not be found until some little something like your eyes comes up... Lots of ppl have it and have never used Interferon,,so you might have had it for years if that is what it is,, I know that I got mine from the INF,, didnt have it before! Well I hope you find someone to have dinner with on Valentines Day... This holiday is not a favorite of mine anymore because I had to put off removing my brother from life support 5 years ago. We put it off until the next day and he died within 4 hours of taking him off,, but it was his request and he fully understood that he would die when we did,, he was ready,,, so valentines day is no longer a special day for me.. makes me sad,,, cuz I miss him like crazy! talk again soon , hugs jaxHunter wrote: Thanks Jackie!

It is most kind of you, but as I've said before, I think things happen for a good reason. Maybe I just need to learn about sarcoidosis. Maybe I'll meet a lovely eye doctor. Maybe this will bring me something else I want or need in my life. But please don't worry! I'm not. I'm more concened with finding someone to have dinner with on Valentines Day.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hi Well according to the studies I have looked at, Sarcoidosis is not life threatening unless it attacks your heart, lungs, kidneys etc,, most ppl it attacks the lungs and its really a weird disease because about 80% of those who have it spontaniously go into remission on their own, without any treatment,, but those who dont sometimes are treated with steriods,, and you dont want to use those anyway,,, so just take good care of yourself,, and get an eye check when you can and in the meantime, try to eat foods that have leutene in them or see if you can find a good supplement for eyes,, Its probably not Sarcoidosis but it can sometimes be in your body for years and not be found until some little something like your eyes comes up... Lots of ppl have it and have never used Interferon,,so you might have had it for years if that is what it is,, I know that I got mine from the INF,, didnt have it before! Well I hope you find someone to have dinner with on Valentines Day... This holiday is not a favorite of mine anymore because I had to put off removing my brother from life support 5 years ago. We put it off until the next day and he died within 4 hours of taking him off,, but it was his request and he fully understood that he would die when we did,, he was ready,,, so valentines day is no longer a special day for me.. makes me sad,,, cuz I miss him like crazy! talk again soon , hugs jaxHunter wrote: Thanks Jackie! Thanks Janet! I know I should have my eyes checked... just a procrastinator. About sarcoidosis, is this caused by Interferon? Its been 8 years since I did tx. I don't think its that. Probably just my eyes and mind are too tired. I haven't been sleeping well... enough sleep, but far off my normal schedule. You know the grass is always greener.... I'm one of the animals God gave big brains, but dogs and cats have no trouble sleeping. Thanks ladies, for the input. I'll look up sarcoidosis, but may have to wait until I get back to the states to see an eye doctor. Please don't be overly concerned.
