#How you think about-sarcoidosis "Heavy lies the crown" metaphorical speaking despite outward appearances for most that have sarcoidosis💭

Sarcoidosis, is a multi-system inflammatory disorder that exhibits characteristics similar to autoimmune disorders. Although it shares some features with and responds to immunosuppressive treatment like autoimmune disorders, sarcoidosis stands as a systemic inflammatory disorder.

"The notion that sarcoidosis is solely a pulmonary (Lung) condition is a common misconception; when in reality, there are various forms of #Sarcoidosis, each requiring a unique treatment approach" based on which part of the body affected by sarcoidosis.
