A member asked:
My father who is 55 yrs old is suffering from sarciodosis since last five yrs. please provide some tips to subside the symptoms of disease.

It depends: It depends on his current manifestations of the sarcoidosis. Prednisone is often a mainstay of therapy. However, tnf inhbitors such as Enbrel and Remicade (infliximab) have shown promise. Have your father see his doctor to see what he is a candidate for and whether his current regimen needs to be changed.
