Casey D Monroe posted an update in the group Sarcoidosis Advocate Network
I’m new here! Just poking around, seeing what’s available. I think I got Sarcoidosis in the military from either; TONS of vaccinations (including small pox and anthrax), inhaling metal from aircraft engines, open burn pits in Africa, or??

Thank you Casey for joining us and I am sorry to hear that you are having these complications! I assume from what you are saying that your symptoms are lung related? Since Sarcoidosis is though to be an immune response from being exposed to foreign substances, any of the potential causes you have listed could be the culprit. Sounds like you definitely want to see an immunologist ASAP and be evaluated. Most patients recover but a short term course of corticosteroids could stop the progression and relieve symptoms. Have you seen a doctor to get a firm diagnosis?
