Dr. Nancy Lin at Johns Hopkins is working on a way to quickly diagnose Sarcoidosis - at last compared to the current ways it is being done. She is looking at our micro RNA to see if there is something different in sarcoidosis patients. Her research is being funded by a $150,000 grant from the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research. Not only does it appear promising, but it may one day open doors to a cure. Listen to this fascinating conversation as Dr. Lin explores the root causes of sarcoidosis as far as we currently understand it.

Attorney Joel Rosen woke up one day and he wasn't feeling well. He thought maybe it was a cold. But he just couldn't get to feeling better. That sent him through a series of tests that eventually led to a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. As an attorney, he had already generously loaned his talents to several non-profits. And now we can add the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research to the list. Joel is the newest board member for FSR, and in this episode of the Sarc Fighter podcast, he talks about how it took months to find a diagnosis and how he became more and more involved with the work FSR is doing to help patients cope, and researchers find treatments and maybe one day, a cure.

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.
John rides on the causeway from Burlington, Vermont. The best part of his vacation!

Tony Haskel first appeared on the podcast in March of 2023 - about five months prior to this recording. At the time he knew he had sarcoidosis, but he didn't really know what was in store. Now, months later he is much better acquainted with sarc, but still has an optimistic outlook.

In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, I tested my health as I was embedded with the National Guard, patrolling the U.S. - Mexico border at Eagle Pass, Texas. Temperatures soared up to 103 degrees, as I worked to report on the battle between migrants wanting to cross into the United States, and authorities who want them to come through legally. It's a daily battle as the migrants cross the Rio Grande River, but come up against the concertina wire or C-wire barriers keeping them from crossing into Texas. In this Episode, I talk about what it was like to witness the stand off, as the heat and stress test my own strength and resolve as I deal with Sarcoidosis.

Dr. Stephen Tilley is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina. He specializes in lung disease with a concentrated effort on sarcoidosis. He is researching new methods and tools to combat the disease, by looking at the response our bodies create to different pathogens -- which could lead to a greater understanding of the cause and treatment of Sarcoidosis. In addition, Dr. Tilley believes that we may have inhaled something that ultimately causes our bodies to trigger the immune response that becomes sarcoidosis. In the interview, he will discuss his beliefs and why some people get sarcoidosis and others do not.

In Episode 91 of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast, John shares two reports about developments in the treatment of sarcoidosis. He looks at recent studies published in Sarcoidosis News that show promise for aTyr Pharma's efzofitimod, currently in clinical trials, and also a report from Sweden that shows the difficulty in diagnosing neurosarcoidosis without an invasive and dangerous biopsy.

What WAS there was sarcoidosis. Listen in as Matthew shares the story of how he gradually realized he was fighting way more than his fitness.

We don't know what causes Sarcoidosis, but we are getting closer and closer. A part of that research is coming from genetic experts at 23andMe. The genetics company has worked with thousands of people to study their DNA -- and to drill down to see if there is a connection between our genes and whether we get Sarcoidosis. Their findings were presented at an FSR Townhall forum hosted by Sarc Fighter Podcast Host John Carlin. The panelists include:
C. Ann Scott- Woman of Color Patient Advisory Committee, Foundation For Sarcoidosis Research, Dr. Courtney Montgomery- Director of the Sarcoidosis Research Clinic at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Mary McGowan – Chief Executive Officer, Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research, and Dr. Suyash Shringarpure – Senior Statistical Geneticist of 23andMe.
