Hello! I too was put on prednisone for an acute episode of sarcoidosis in my eye and lung. I was weaned off after 5 years - and then took methotrexate and/or Imuran for the next 6 years. The sarcoid reached my heart and I needed a heart TX. My docs are concerned that the sarcoid could return - 50% chance- so they prescribe prednisone for the rest of my life.
