Episode 138 | Katie Pantea had a hard time even remembering her neuro sarcoidosis

Katie Pantea has multi-organ involvement of sarcoidosis.  But when it struck her nervous system, doctors struggled to diagnose her as she began to lose her memory of daily events.  In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, Katie talks about how she's been able to fight back and piece together events that initially she could not recall.  It also helped that she is a nurse who lives near a sarcoidosis center that could give her the treatment she needed.
