Wow, Michele, a true diagnosis!!! I've been praying that the doctors would finally be able to figure it out. I know that neither are good options, but I also know how comforting it can be to have a diagnosed condition...and then a plan of action of how to deal with it...and best of all the hope of feeling better!!! Let us know what the test results show. And I hope you get good treatment soon. You deserve so much to feel better. We are all sharing in your success of a diagnosis right now. It's so wonderful! Good luck as you journey through the rest of this process. And keep us posted when you are able. Big Hugs!!

Sarcoidosis!! The biopsy did not show any malingnancy!!!!! The bad news is that I can not get to see the pulmonologist until Friday to find out about treatments. Saw the internist today as she is following the blood clots and the heart problems for the time being. My resting heart rate was 127! It just won't come down. She is adding yet another medication to see if that helps but I think its because of the sarcoidosis, the growths are right on my lungs so it only stands to reason it would make breathing much harder?!
I made it to 4pm at the office yesterday, than went home and slept for 3 hours and went back to bed at 9 and slept until 8am. I am SOOO tired.
At least we are getting some answers and moving in the right direction, finally!
Thanks everyone for the kind words and support. As always, it means so much to me!

I am so glad you are finally finding answers Michele. More than anything I'm sure it has been unbareable for people to keep telling you it was all in your mind. I hope this diagnosis brings with it physical relief and mental peace.
