Me & Sarcoidosis: A Lifetime Partnership

About the Book

This is a story about one man's journey through the stages of living with a chronic health condition: sarcoidosis. However it could be a story of anyone living with any type of chronic health condition that alters the everyday activities a "normal" human being enjoys and the effect it has on everyone around them. The book touches on many subjects ranging from dealing with the various related side conditions such as hypertension, two types of diabetes (sugar and water), chronic fatigue and many others to the various medications needed to survive and the effects they have on not only the patient but also everyone. It touches on various subjects that are critical to surviving a chronic health condition not only for the patient but again those who are associated with that person on a daily basis! There are valuable tips from a normal person's perspective that will help you maneuver through today's complicated medical environment. But most importantly the book will let you know you are not alone in your experiences and hopefully will provide you with positive insights on how to survive a chronic health condition. It will give everyone something to relate back to your everyday life!
