Things have been going very well. I have progressed all summer and am feeling only minimal symptoms. I have on large area on the shin of my left leg that at times gets hot, red and sore. At other times it is cool to the touch but hard as bone. I have the same thing on my right leg but to a much lesser extent. The medications and I believe physical activity has really worked well.

I have been very active this summer, many walks with my wife and the family and even walked home from work today. (About 3 miles) I've also lost twenty pounds over the summer and my prednisone face has mostly gone away. (sigh in relief) Just a short while agao I went on an eight hour ATV ride through the mountains while the leaves are changing. I felt great and the ride was Amazing! All in all I have really been blessed.

I have recently gone off of the Imuran and the Sarcoid hasn’t gotten any worse. I am now only on Prednisone, Plaqunel and Nabumetone (1500 mgs per night). =) I will have to wait and see how the winter goes, but I am very hopeful. Things appear to be really looking up.

Keep fighting! It's worth it!
