Sarcoidosis of Long Island

Let me start off by saying I know so many say these words. I am not saying they do not know what it means at all. I believe we all have different interpretations of these words; most are close to being the same. Others have a totally different meaning, which is great.

My Patient and Patient Advocate Journey starts in April 2004, in Florida. You see being an avid runner since 7th grade and that was a huge part of my life and opened so many doors including a scholarship to college.

Day 14- #SarcoidosisAwarenessMonth In life we have decisions and choices to make. I have chosen to fight! It hasn't been easy, and it will never be easy to live with chronic #Sarcoidosis. There are nights like tonight when you are in such pain that you can't sleep. Please just because I look fine on the outside it doesn't mean I am fine on the inside. #invisibleillness @strongerthansarcoidosis @savvy_coop @wegohealth @clarahealth @buttahflyk @i_am_shashe_ @catdanse1
