I've been through a lot but after surviving 5 blood clots and a slew of other things, they FINALLY figured out what is wrong with me. I have chronic, progressive sarcoidosis. Its a really sucky disease with no cure but the survival rate with my problems is about 85%. I've been getting remicade infusions along with a ton of other drugs, all just trying to slow the disease as much as possible. I've been seeing a shrink regularly to help me deal with it all. Overall, I am just thankful they finally figured it out. Three years of agony and no dx was very trying to say the least. Its been just over a year now since I've known what it is but its still hard to accept.

Other than doctors and tests and medical crap, not too much new. Been trying to repaint the inside of our house but we haven't made too much progress lately.
