In episode 104 of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, John Martin talks about how a routine trip to the doctor stopped him in his tracks. As is often the case is was a sarcoidosis related misdiagnosis. The good news is that he does not have cancer as his doctor suspected. On the other hand, sarcoidosis has dealt him a few setbacks and he must now live life differently. Listen in as he shares the story of how everything changed.

Happy New Year from the Sarc Fighter Podcast. To start the year off, I have a look at a psychological concept called the Zeigarnic effect.
Don't worry about the big name, it will all make sense when you listen. But it has to do with how your brain discards information it no longer needs to free up room to process other thoughts. By doing this, it helps us reduce stress because our brains are not overloaded with clutter. Makes sense right? That's what closure is all about. Ok -- that happened, I've dealt with it and I can move on. But if you can't complete that thought loop or task, and it remains open -- then it lingers in your brain and drives you nuts!
In episode 103 of the Sarc Fighter podcast, I look into how that makes dealing with sarcoidosis difficult at best. #zeigarnic
Oh yeah -- and I'll tell you what this fish tank has do to with it too.

Sherron Fantauzzi knew something was wrong with her body. After months of aligning the clues, doctors discovered it was sarcoidosis. In Episode 102 of the FSR Sarc fighter podcast, Sherron brings her upbeat personality to the mic and talks about how she has balanced a job with the FAA, a local talk show, being a basketball referee, and sarcoidosis.
Note: I am re-uploading this podcast after discovering a bad edit in the first draft. That's all on me. Sorry for making you hear all kinds of stray audio on the first one.

John Mockovciak spends a lot of time helping his wife, Janet travel her sarcoidosis journey. And for a couple who hike and ski and seek the lifestyle they've always wanted, it can be a lot of work for both of them. Yet somehow they get down the mountains in the snow, and to the iconic places so many people want to visit. But it takes a certain mindset and understanding, that John shares with listeners in this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast.

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.
