Minutus

hallo all,
after a longer time i'am back in the forum with a difficult medical condition.

what do you know about treatment of sarkoidose in lungs and bones? the patient has swollen lymph nodes in mediastinum and hilus of the thorax and in order of the very bad respiration he get prednisolon (glucocorticoid) 20mg per day. so the lymph nodes marginal de-swollen and interference to the respiration is now agreeable. but it's no treatment at all...
lymphdiaral (homeopathic complex from pascoe) is without any effect.

blood diagnistics gives
- crosslaps 0.41 ng/ml (normal 0.9)
- rheuma factor igg 39.7 u/ml (normal <20)
- c-reactive protein 30.4 mg/l (normal <5)
- erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) 60 (normal 0-10 mm/h)
- neutrophiles 43% (normal 50-70)
- eosinophiles 14.2% (normal <7)
and nodes into the struma were detected by szintegraphy and less calcitonin in blood and also a beginning lipomatosis pancreatitis.

the patient tells about psychic stress (mobbing in job) an manifested sleep disorder, vertigo in morning and under stress. i see also substancial hidden nervousness, what he want to mask.

please help,
gunter paul

I once had one who needed Lyssin amd improved after that. A Lyssin picture was there. Did not find it until after he nearly died and was rescued allopathically.
I remember Berylium being suggested at that time also. He was certainly nervous and there was a very traumatic event in his early life..
A young woman I think got better after Tub again supported by constitutional picture. Depends on what you find, Best Wishes, Jean

Sarcoidosis is due to a particular type of inflammation
called 'granulomatous inflammation. The inflammatory cells
congregate togehter and form 'lumps' [granulomas]. In the majority
of cases the granuloma's dissappear on their own - those that do not
heal become scarred - eventually forming a fibrosis in the area.

Granuloma's can also appear as sores on the skin.

There is no known cause or cure for Sarcoioisis. It affects men and
women - more often seen in young adults between the ages of 20 -40.

Saroidosis is most frequently found in the lungs but can attack any
organ of the body.

Common presentation:
- illness with flu like symptoms of : fever,tiredness and joint
pains.
-shortness of breath; [dyspnoea] and persistent dry cough
-X-ray may show swollen lymph nodes [ bilateral hilar
lymphadenopathy]
-painful red, bumpy rash on the arms, face or shins [ erythema
nodosum]
-sore eyes and blurred vision due to inflammation within the eye
[uveitis]
-swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits and groin.

Many patients recover completly without treatment. Conventional
treatment involves corticosteroids to reduce the inflammation.

The blood series included in the origional post lends me to believe
you have a far more advance auto-immune disorder in the works here -
and I would be considering 'Scleroderma' and or other rheumatoid
based diseases. The ESR rate is very high as is the rheuma factor;
and the same symptoms present with Scleroderma as they do with
Sarcoidosis - if Scleroderma is present a change in the skin tissue
will most likely occur sooner than later.

Scleroderma goes misdiagnosed more often than not. If the skin is
not affectated - it is usually missed as the major interference
occurs on the soft tissues of the body.

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease of the connective tissue.
Autoimmune diseases are illnesses which occur when the body's
tissues are attacked by its own immune system. Scleroderma is
characterized by the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the skin
and organs of the body. This leads to thickness and firmness of
involved areas. Scleroderma is also referred to as systemic
sclerosis.

The diffuse form of scleroderma is involves symmetric thickening of
skin of the extremities, face, trunk (chest, back, abdomen, or
flanks) which can rapidly progress to hardening after an early
inflammatory phase. Organ disease can occur early on and be serious.
Organs affected include the esophagus, bowels, lungs with scarring
(fibrosis), heart, and kidneys. High blood pressure can be a
troublesome side effect.

The limited form of scleroderma tends to be confined to the skin of
the fingers and face. The skin changes and other features of disease
tend to occur more slowly than in the diffuse form. Because a
characteristic clinical pattern can occur in patients with the
limited form of scleroderma, this form has taken another name which
is composed of the first initials of the common components. Thus,
this form is also called the CREST variant of scleroderma.

Although there is no known cause for Scleroderma - the main belief
conventionally and non conventionally is that the onset occurs post
a traumatic emotional episode; during or following a period of great
mental or emotional stress; or traumatic physical injury.
Scleroderma can mask the symptoms of a myriad of other auto-immune
disorders such as Sarcoidosis - and usually carries with it a
secondary auto-immune disorder on the back end. [i.e. Lupis],

Good Luck with your case - I hope you found this information helpful.

Refer you to Harridan's 37 [27/03/07 ] excellent letter about pathology where the granulomatous lesoions might lead to the Beryllium thought of.
The Tub was used in 200c in a young woman. That was over 10 years ago and I met her recently and she was OK. There is an affinity I think between sarcoidosis and tuberculosis with the sweats and pulmonary and kidney involvement.
The Lyssin I think was peculiar to what was present in that case [Sudden severe loss of temper followed by remorse ]and I believe used 1M which would have been brave of me at that time. Each case is different and many would use LMs in such a deep seated malady , Jean
