I have a friend who has Sarcoidosis and Pulmonary Hypertension, both which affects the lung/breathing. I see the difficulties on a daily basis that she suffers with. She has lost about 100 lbs in the last year and is working to have her lung transplant soon. Sarcoidosis is such a mystery to me. Thanks for this article, I know this article speaks about Neurosarcoidosis, but it was very insightful. Thanks again.
