'Another One Gone', Moe. Vid Contest

Video for Moe's video contest. When I first thought about what to create for this contest, I really didn't know what direction to go in. So it came down to 'Shoot what you know' and the only thing I have known for the past few months has been my living room, as I have been recovering from a newly diagnosed disease called Sarcoidosis. This disease has caused me many problems and for the most part has made me a prisoner of my own apartment, espiecially during the months I couldn't really walk. So, this is my video. A time lapse of myself doing what I do while recovering; which is resting, doing my rehab exercises, taking an obscene amount of medicine, and wasting time on the net- all while the world goes by.

Great video. I had what I thought was a cyst in my hand. It got rather large (extending from my pinky finger to my wrist bone at which point I was told it was a tumor. It turned out to be a sarcoid tumor. Cat Scans have revealed granulomas in my longs and stomach but that was 1.5 years ago and I remain asymptomatic. I never saw a hematologist cause my Dr. said they wouldn't treat unless I had symptoms.

That's incredibly interesting... haven't heard that happening before. I guess all I can say is keep up the good health and stay on top of your yearly check-ups. Thanks for the story.

Hey everyone. great video here. i will be doing my own video soon as well. I have been disabled for 16 years because of this disease. After being on very high doses of Prednisone and pain killers for many years i turned to herbs and other alternatives. i now test sarcoid negative but severe damaga was done to my spinal chord from the disease. My advice to everyone is not to depend on the medical establishment. do your own researcha and take control of your health.

Peace!

Can't wait to see your work! So sorry you've sustained so much damage from this.

This is a really good video man. I really love this song. This is the first vid i saw in the search results so i watched it and after reading the description i looked up the actual disease. It only made me respect the video more, as well as you're dealing with such and illness. I hope everything works out for you.

Nice to see your video , the doctor told my husband in may of 08 that he had sarcoidosis. It was found in his brain after haveing a seizure....now today July 21,2008 we were told that the ct and pet scans showed its in his liver and lungs....Feels like we are in this battle alone. Thank you for your video we will keep you all in our prayers. The Cooper family (Winter Haven,FL

From a NeuroSarcoid person, great video

Hi,

I hope they figure it out. I know how it feels, I wasn't diagnosed for a long time and kept getting worse. They finally figured it out when they saw the inflammation in the back of my eyes.

How were you diagnosed? I haven't looked at your other videos, yet.

Hi gcbspender! My doctors may have found out what I have??? The hematologist thinks it's Sarcoidosis. I've had this funky skin disorder for over a year. I was sent to the hematologist by my endocrinologist because of my elevated lymphocyte count. My blood has been messed up for years. I stopped working about 15 months ago. Too tired to get up and go. Anyway, I'm going to have a skin biopsy next week. Hopefully, they will be able to figure out what my condition is!

yeah, you sound like me. I just started a new job and I am having trouble making it through the day without horrilbe headaches and being tired. I am also battling my 2nd cold in 2 weeks. Having a suppressed immune system isn't fun. I believe the nodes in my lungs have shrunk but I do have permenant damage to my right eye. Hang in there and feel better.
