Pulmonary Sarcoidosis: How are you dealing with it?

I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis on 5/30/23. I have some granulomas in my lungs and due to granulomas in my kidneys I had kidney failure.
It is quite the journey. I have been on Prednisone now for over a year. I have three more months and then I am done.
I struggle with being tired a lot of my time.

Welcome @454june3736. Fatigue is a challenge. Will you taper off prednisone? What are the implications of kidney failure? Dialysis?

Hello. Curious how they found granulomas in your kidneys ? Did you have symptoms and then a kidney scan.?
I have not been on prednisone yet but since I was tested for everything else and all is negative, I assume it is just inflamation that prednisone would help
Hope you are doing better now
