A member asked:
What is your experience with sarcoidosis recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite variable: In caucasions most people recover with or without treatment (90%). In blacks and asians the disease tends to be more severe and resistant to treatment. Most patients do well with steroids; some require more immunosuppressive therapy which has more risk. Some require no treatment at all. As a specialist i tend to see the worst patients which sometimes colors my expectations.
