In this Episode of the Sarc Fighter podcast, we learn how Walgreens is making Sarcoidosis a priority for its customers. Not only is Walgreens doing a fundraiser for the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research -- the chain is talking about the disease and spreading the word that sarcoidosis is out there, that patients need help, and that the disease needs to be recognized as a big problem for the medical community. Listen in as Melissa Pharo of Walgreens and Angela O'Malley of FSR join me to talk about how this major pharmaceutical chain recognizes the needs of the sarcoidosis community.

In episode 104 of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, John Martin talks about how a routine trip to the doctor stopped him in his tracks. As is often the case is was a sarcoidosis related misdiagnosis. The good news is that he does not have cancer as his doctor suspected. On the other hand, sarcoidosis has dealt him a few setbacks and he must now live life differently. Listen in as he shares the story of how everything changed.

Happy New Year from the Sarc Fighter Podcast. To start the year off, I have a look at a psychological concept called the Zeigarnic effect. Don't worry about the big name, it will all make sense when you listen. But it has to do with how your brain discards information it no longer needs to free up room to process other thoughts. By doing this, it helps us reduce stress because our brains are not overloaded with clutter. Makes sense right? That's what closure is all about. Ok -- that happened, I've dealt with it and I can move on. But if you can't complete that thought loop or task, and it remains open -- then it lingers in your brain and drives you nuts! In episode 103 of the Sarc Fighter podcast, I look into how that makes dealing with sarcoidosis difficult at best. #zeigarnic Oh yeah -- and I'll tell you what this fish tank has do to with it too.

Dr. Nancy Lin at Johns Hopkins is working on a way to quickly diagnose Sarcoidosis - at last compared to the current ways it is being done. She is looking at our micro RNA to see if there is something different in sarcoidosis patients. Her research is being funded by a $150,000 grant from the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research. Not only does it appear promising, but it may one day open doors to a cure. Listen to this fascinating conversation as Dr. Lin explores the root causes of sarcoidosis as far as we currently understand it.

Attorney Joel Rosen woke up one day and he wasn't feeling well. He thought maybe it was a cold. But he just couldn't get to feeling better. That sent him through a series of tests that eventually led to a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. As an attorney, he had already generously loaned his talents to several non-profits. And now we can add the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research to the list. Joel is the newest board member for FSR, and in this episode of the Sarc Fighter podcast, he talks about how it took months to find a diagnosis and how he became more and more involved with the work FSR is doing to help patients cope, and researchers find treatments and maybe one day, a cure.

How it messes with our lives and makes us wish it wasn't there. It makes you wonder how you happened to be the one who was struck by lightning. (Listen on for more on that analogy!) Imagine a vacation where everything goes wrong -- or at least, not according to plans and dreams. Add in some significant health issues by family members and you have the makings of a good story! And a solid dose of perspective. This was my vacation this summer. Also, FSR has awarded Dr. Christen Vagts $150,000, to further her research is severe cases of pulmonary sarcoidosis. Dr. Vagts was a guest on the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast in December of 2022. There is a link to that episode below, if you would like to go back and listen. John rides on the causeway from Burlington, Vermont. The best part of his vacation! Show Notes
Tony Haskel first appeared on the podcast in March of 2023 - about five months prior to this recording. At the time he knew he had sarcoidosis, but he didn't really know what was in store. Now, months later he is much better acquainted with sarc, but still has an optimistic outlook.

In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, I tested my health as I was embedded with the National Guard, patrolling the U.S. - Mexico border at Eagle Pass, Texas. Temperatures soared up to 103 degrees, as I worked to report on the battle between migrants wanting to cross into the United States, and authorities who want them to come through legally. It's a daily battle as the migrants cross the Rio Grande River, but come up against the concertina wire or C-wire barriers keeping them from crossing into Texas. In this Episode, I talk about what it was like to witness the stand off, as the heat and stress test my own strength and resolve as I deal with Sarcoidosis. John on the border as a group of migrants enters the United States, near Eagle Pass, Tx.

Dr. Stephen Tilley is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina. He specializes in lung disease with a concentrated effort on sarcoidosis. He is researching new methods and tools to combat the disease, by looking at the response our bodies create to different pathogens -- which could lead to a greater understanding of the cause and treatment of Sarcoidosis. In addition, Dr. Tilley believes that we may have inhaled something that ultimately causes our bodies to trigger the immune response that becomes sarcoidosis. In the interview, he will discuss his beliefs and why some people get sarcoidosis and others do not.

We don't know what causes Sarcoidosis, but we are getting closer and closer. A part of that research is coming from genetic experts at 23andMe. The genetics company has worked with thousands of people to study their DNA -- and to drill down to see if there is a connection between our genes and whether we get Sarcoidosis. Their findings were presented at an FSR Townhall forum hosted by Sarc Fighter Podcast Host John Carlin. The panelists include: C. Ann Scott- Woman of Color Patient Advisory Committee, Foundation For Sarcoidosis Research, Dr. Courtney Montgomery- Director of the Sarcoidosis Research Clinic at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Mary McGowan – Chief Executive Officer, Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research, and Dr. Suyash Shringarpure – Senior Statistical Geneticist of 23andMe.

Rebecca Stanfel is a Sarc Fighter who also happens to be a wonderful writer -- to the point that national publications share her work. She recently published a blog in the Huffington Post https://www.huffpost.com/entry/oxycontin-fentanyl-opioid-crisis_n_63d1603de4b0c8e3fc7b72f6, where she talked about the pain from Sarcoidosis that was so bad, only opioids would give her relief. In a world where we now often shudder at the mention of these addictive drugs, Stanfel wrote that they were her only path forward and that they serve a necessary purpose in certain situations -- including hers. That is not to say it wasn't a struggle or that it was easy to wean herself from the medication. It wasn't. But in her writings, and during the discussion on the podcast she talks about how she fought to free herself from the drugs while still dealing with sarcoidosis.

This podcast is a recording of the amazing town hall discussion looking at aTyr Pharma's drug that shows great promise as a replacement for prednisone for pulmonary sarcoidosis patients. In this discussion, we will hear from aTyr CEO Dr. Sanjay Shukla, FSR CEO Mary McGowan, Patient Jim Kuhn, and Dr. Shambhu Aryal - the Medical Director of the Inova Sarcoidosis Center. Together we look at the problems with the current therapies available to the sarcoidosis community, the frustration felt by both patients and physicians, and the promise of a drug called efzofitimod, which is now in Stage three clinical trials. This is a compelling discussion where, once again, thanks to the team at the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research, all the key players are available and more than willing to share their portion of the story and all it takes to move the needle on research.

April is Sarcoidosis Awareness month and FSR has many ways that the community can participate -- with your photos, videos and even holding up signs. It's all part of making the world aware that Sarcoidosis is a problem -- and remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Well it's time to squeak! Joining me on the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast this week are FSR Director of Development Angela O'Malley, Senior communications and Marketing Director Cathi Davis, and FSR Board Member and sarc patient Craig Lipset. Hear Craig's story about how sarcoidosis slowed his life as a young executive, and how he made his way to a leadership position with FSR -- and more importantly, how FSR is making it possible and even probable that more companies will try to find new drugs to fight the disease.

Tony Haskel is an active person. From his home in Connecticut, he makes time to ski in Vermont and ride his bike in the hilly regions around his home. But one day he found he couldn't go. His heart wasn't functioning properly because sarcoidosis had found its way into his body and started blocking vital communications within his heart itself. In this episode of the Sarc Fighter Podcast, Tony shares how sarcoidosis has attacked him and how he is fighting back.

This is a special bonus episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast. You will be listening to a town hall recorded on February 18, 2023, where the guests discuss how to get more people involved in clinical trials for medications pointed at treating sarcoidosis patients. Guests include Mary McGowan CEO of the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research, Dr. Divya Patel Director of Sarcoidosis and ILD programs at the University of Florida, Bill Gerhart, CEO of Kinevant Sciences inc., And Garrie Farrow FSR Patient Advocate and Women of Color committee member. FSR Sarc Fighter podcast host John Carlin served as moderator. During the hour-long presentation, the need for clinical trials in order to advance the fight against sarcoidosis is clearly laid out -- as is the difficulty in recruiting patients for the program and the reasons many patients decline to participate. All of this with the goal of making it easier for patients to say yes and for medical science to help make it easier for patients to participate.
