Does anyone else have similar issues but possibly misdiagnosed? My brother is a cardiologist who was puzzled by lack of care. He mentioned sarcoid and he was right.

There were a lot of ventilation issues in many of the buildings! And we were not in the same school. And I was that idiot teacher who literally lived at school! I would even go in on weekends! My family played in the gym while I worked in my classroom! I had chronic bronchitis, pneumonia once, and chronic sinus issues. Wish I could press the rewind on the remote!

It is something that is often diagnosed in the mid-West

Good morning. I spent 80 plus hours a week volunteering during Desert Storm in this horrific building. Years before I was there, it was discovered that no one cleaned the filter system for 17 years. The dirt on the filtration system were painted over. It was after this that the sarcoid flared. And years later, the MAC was diagnosed.

@irene5, I went to an incredibly old school myself. Two of my teachers have since passed away from serious lung issues. One had mesothelioma, the other ended up with a double lung transplant and has subsequently died. They both had a life-long career there. It gives me pause.

@macjane, my cousin did not have symptoms of IBS. She did have possitive biopsies proving granular tumors.

@irene5, Sending you and your hubby cyber hugs. XOXxO

I know! My daughter’s Godmother and I shared the same classroom ( Not at the same time). She died of lung cancer two years ago. She never smoked.:( Gives me pause too!

@macjane, I have never heard of 'achalasia', but I will def look it up!

Sorry to hear that.
