| 8/25/26 | Episode 169 | Kimberly Cleary is trying her hardest to catch a breath | Kimberly Cleary lives in Chicago, where she is dealing with severe pulmonary Sarcoidosis. After a long path to diagnosis, she is working with her medical team to find a treatment that works for her. It has't been easy.

| 8/10/26 | Episode 168 | Susan Smith is fighting cardiac sarcoidosis and possible more. | Susan Smith has cardiac Sarcoidosis. One day she was in spin class, and all of a sudden her life went into a spin. Sarcoidosis has raised its ugly head, and now she is taking things day by day as she works with her medical team to find a solution to what seems to be a worsening problem. Susan contacted me following the release of the podcast saying she wished she had been more specific with respect to some of her diagnosis. She asked me to pass along the following information: I wish I had made clear that I am being evaluated for autonomic small fiber neuropathy and my symptoms not only include weird sensations in the feet, dry eyes, and body temperature dysregulation but also bloatedness after eating and drinking, cold intolerance in my fingers and toes and sexual dysfunction. Also, I wish I had explained more about how it was evident to me that I had cardiac sarcoidosis before getting the results of my first PET and my first cardiac MRI. I had had two 30 minute long episodes of ventricular tachycardia, a month apart. The second one came after being loaded up with Amiodarone at the hospital and beginning a daily dosage at home. Amiodarone is the most potent anti-arrhythmia drug available. The second episode of ventricular tachycardia did not result in my ICD firing because the Amiodarone had dampened the v-tach, making the heart beat less fast. The settings on my ICD were for a higher grade v-tach. The ER doctor shocked my heart back into rhythm. I remember it well because he did not sedate me. After the second prolonged v-tach, my primary cardiologist said to me that there must be “Infiltrations” in my heart. He threw out the word “sarcoidosis.” I read about cardiac sarcoidosis and compared my symptoms to those associated with other cardiomyopathies. It seemed to me that it was highly likely that I had cardiac sarcoidosis.

For what it's worth, I'll also share the terrors of surgery for my ruptured Achilles.

| 11/17/25 | Episode 151 | Dr. Thomas Leung is using skin research to unravel the mysteries of sarcoidosis | What if the cause and a potential cure for sarcoidosis were hidden in plain view -- on your skin? According to research by Dr. Thomad Leung in Philadelphia, that might be the case. In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast, Dr. Leung explains how his team of researchers is using the skin to investigate how the body sends a homing signal to cells that create damaging granulomas in any part of the body, including the lungs, heart, and nervous system. Listen in as Dr. Leung describes breaking down cells and looking for a potential biomarker that could lead to sarcoidosis being diagnosed with a blood test.

| 10/21/25 | Episode 149 | A look at Sarcoidosis from 20,000 feet and when to fire your doctor | A lot of people find the podcast because they are trying to figure out what's going on in their bodies. They know they have sarcoidosis, but they don't know what it is, how serious it is, or whether it will get worse or maybe - go away. Then there's the question of multi-organ involvement. How common is it and which organs are most often impacted? In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast, a look at a new report from Sarcoidosis News that takes a deep dive on many of those questions. Also -- I had a rough visit with my new doctor at my local hospital, and I'm thinking about finding a new doctor. Should I? You decide. Feeling good on my mountain bike!

Even if you want to, how do you get the time off from work? Starting in 2025, thanks to the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research, there is a provision called the FMLA Clarification, which essentially states that you can participate without fear of losing your job.

| 8/25/25 | Episode 145 | Scarlett is the youngest sarc patient yet | Scarlette Washlock was diagnosed with sarcoidosis when she was just 12 years old. Her mother, Kelly McBride, had to raise her daughter with all the anguish and uncertainties that come with Sarcoidosis, compounded by Scarlett's youth and her desire to stay active at school. Together they succeeded. Scarlette had a good high school experience and joins me on the podcast from her new freshman digs at Ohio State University, where she hopes a pre-med path is the one she can take. Listen in as Scarlette and her mom discuss their journey as they took on sarcoidosis.
