Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 http://arthritis.webmd.com/arthritis-sarcoidosis How Is Sarcoidosis Treated? There is no cure for sarcoidosis, but the disease may get better on its own over time. Many people with sarcoidosis have mild symptoms and do not require any treatment. Treatment, when it is needed, is given to reduce symptoms and to maintain the proper working order of the affected organs. Treatments generally fall into two categories -- maintenance of good health practices and drug treatment. Good health practices include: Getting regular check-ups with your health care provider Eating a well-balanced diet with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables Drinking 8 to 10, 8-ounce glasses of water a day Getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night Exercising regularly and managing and maintaining your weight Quitting smoking Drug treatments are used to relieve symptoms and reduce the inflammation of the affected tissues Dianne Kiyomoto, RD ------------------------------------------------- --- nutrinutrdcde wrote: > I have a client with sarcoidosis, has experienced a > planned weight loss > of 27 pounds in 1 year, now with severe lack of > energy tho maintenance > calorie needs are being met and weight loss has been > stabalized.
