OK I had surgery twice now over swollen lymph nodes in my left groin doctors had no clue what was going on no answers.then I found a different doctor and started seeing him since then I have had more lymph nodes swell in my left groin and the put me on antibiotics and steroids but these only last for a week or two,but this is every couple of months I've had a mri done and lung test done due to swollen glands around my lungs.is there anything I can suggest to my doctor that can help control this more then what I'm dealing with?

      I live just west of St Louis, that is where Washington University or BJC/Siteman Cancer Center is located. It's one of the best in the country. I highly recommend them.

      My sarcoidosis was under control then I had to go work in Charlston, SC and my cough came back just as strong as before. Everyone out there was like "are you dying" or "you need to see a Dr about that cough". Must have told my story 100 times out there!

      Come to find out I was n one of the worst areas in the country for Sarcoidosis!!! I was surrounded by pine forest and swamps out there. Mold and pollen galore. Like I stated to Debbie I've read environmental conditions play a big role in sarcoidosis.
