neuro sarcoidosis and feel electric in head

Jump to this post

I noticed your post. I had sarcoidosis nodules removed from my lungs many years ago. Nothing more was said about it till recently. I had Lyme disease and have had dizziness and other problems for about two years. The neurologist is thinking the Lyme and sarcoidosis might be the cause of my problems. I have to have a spinal tap. I have been reading about neurosarcoidosis. I have a lot of pain in my neck and back of my head but it doesn't feel electric. I am interested to know more about your situation. I wish you well.

Is this board still active? If so, i am looking for good nutritional recommendations to help with neurosurgical. I was diagnosed 11 years ago and was on steroids for about 9 years. I am on methotrexate now. I want to eat to support my condition. I already do salmon, lots of veggies and fruit. Looking for other nutritional info.

I try to stay away from red meat, unhealthy fats like margarine, sweets and wheat. I have also switched to nitrate free bacon when I indulge.

I am interested in good source info on antiinflammatory diets, herbs, teas etc. I'm sick of taking pills for everything. I'd like to help my body help itself.
