We all know how lousy sarcoidosis is. How it messes with our lives and makes us wish it wasn't there. It makes you wonder how you happened to be the one who was struck by lightning. (Listen on for more on that analogy!) Imagine a vacation where everything goes wrong -- or at least, not according to plans and dreams. Add in some significant health issues by family members and you have the makings of a good story! And a solid dose of perspective. This was my vacation this summer. Also, FSR has awarded Dr. Christen Vagts $150,000, to further her research is severe cases of pulmonary sarcoidosis. Dr. Vagts was a guest on the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast in December of 2022. There is a link to that episode below, if you would like to go back and listen.
