<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just read in Bill Vellios' posting that he suffers from "sarcoid of the lungs". I may be barking up the wrong tree, but it that the same as Sarcoidosis - a problem where crystals form in the joints and lungs causing immense discomfort and shortness of breath? I ask because firstly, I have coeliac disease, which I think I may have inherited from my mothers side of the family, and secondly she was diagnosed about 18 months ago with sarcoidosis. Is there a link? I haven't read anywhere of the two being related, but Sarcoidosis appears to be another auto-immune disease. Does anyone Many thanks ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ Emma Shoebridge ([log in to unmask]) Johannesburg, South Africa ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ~µ
