A lot of people find the podcast because they are trying to figure out what's going on in their bodies.  They know they have sarcoidosis, but they don't know what it is, how serious it is, or whether it will get worse or maybe - go away.  Then there's the question of multi-organ involvement.  How common is it and which organs are most often impacted?  In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast, a look at a new report from Sarcoidosis News that takes a deep dive on many of those questions.  Also -- I had a rough visit with my new doctor at my local hospital, and I'm thinking about finding a new doctor.  Should I?  You decide.  

Feeling good on my mountain bike!
