Scattered Granulomas: Sarcoidosis Living Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe living with sarcoidosis. Writers describe something on the film: the incidental finding, the swollen lymph nodes, the cough, the erythema nodosum and painful ankles that turned out to be Löfgren's syndrome. There is learning the word, the bronchoscopy or biopsy that confirmed it, and the maddening honesty of a prognosis nobody can give. Then the tiredness nobody sees — the central complaint of the volume, invisible to employers, families and often clinicians. Writers describe steroids and what they cost, the methotrexate and biologics that follow, and the shadows that cleared as mysteriously as they came. Later chapters cover disease beyond the lungs: cardiac sarcoidosis and defibrillators, neurosarcoidosis, eyes, skin, liver and small fibre neuropathy — alongside the specialist clinics, and the cases that never lifted.

Who it's for

For anyone newly diagnosed with sarcoidosis, people living with the fatigue nobody can see, and families trying to understand a disease that refuses to follow a script.
