I just wanted to take a minute and let all my friends and family on here at PA, that this not only might be my last classic, but a last for a lot of things. I got my results back today, that I have been keeping from everyone about this because of the drama that I hate, but my sarcoidosis is back and full blown. Meaning it is coming to the outside of my skin, and is also active in my lungs. This explains the shortness of breath that I have been having since I stopped smoking, thinking it was the weight gain. They now seem to think that it is also part of the problem with the light reflections in my eyes that causes me all kind of balance issures. This is not a good thing to have because little is know about it as well as any treatment for it. All I would ask is if you will, please say a prayer for me, as this time, I am going to need a lot of them. They want to start some treatment on me, with little know of what the reaction might be, but I am not going to allow that to happen until after the classic. So I have all intentions of meeting as many of you as I can, and having the time of my life this time at the classic. Because of fearing the worst, this may be my last classic along with a lot of other things.
Thanks and God Bless
Charlie

Keep your chin up Chuck and I WILL see you in a few weeks.

So sorry to hear that, Charlie. Wish you the best possible outcome on the treatment.
-
Bad news indeed. My thoughts and best wishes for you in the future.
With regard to lack of knowledge about the illness and treatment - you might consider looking into cannabis oil and the positive effects it has on many many illnesses and diseases. It surely wouldn't hurt to look into it as a possible natural treatment method.
All the best,
Steve.

Wishing you the best and hope and a prayer that you recover. Hang in there Charlie.

Charlie: Sorry to hear the news and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Remind me at the Classic to talk to you about Sarcoidosis. I was diagnosed with it when I was in my 30's. It went into remission and has never come back. I'm gonna be 50 soon.

Thanks all. Matt, I was diagnosed in 1999 with it and at that time it was in my lungs. They put me on Plaquenil for the length of time I could take it, because of sever side effects, and it went into remission and has flared up once since. Now, over 1/3 of each of my lungs are all but gone and it appears it might be in my eyes now as well. Just something else to deal with, but it is what it is and nothing I can do but deal with it. Thanks everyone. See you at the classic.

Wanted to take a minute and let every one know that I had my first treatment with the chemo type medicine that they are putting me on. Not good so far. Had a really bad day yesterday after taking it. Very sick, and very very weak. I will have to take this for 6 weeks as long as my body adjust to it ok. If not, not sure what will be done.
It will be a lot of down time from what they tell because of the side affect it will have, but I guess it is better than the alternative.
They suggested that I go to a gym to try and walk on treadmills and use other exercise machines to help keep my legs strength and upper body strength, but gym's are just not for me. I am looking around now for a decent priced mountain bike that I can ride on the roads here around the house for a while and try that.
I just hope and pray they can get this nasty stuff back in remission. I know I was not my self at the classic, and did not mingle as much as I would have liked, but I really needed the time away to sort some thoughts out, and get my mind set on this venture.
I will keep you posted of any drastic changes, but other wise, keep your arrows straight and have fun.

In my prayers Charlie,keep us up dated,and if you need anything I can help with let me know. :)

-
Charlie, keep your spirits up. It can help with the physical stuff. If there's anything I can do, just holler. I'll see you at the next Classic if not before. Certainly my good friend, we will chat in the meantime.
