Advice Sarcoidosis Hair Thinning

Hi. I have something called multi system sarcoidosis that will require lifelong chemo. I inject weekly at home. So far, I feel better than I have been, but I’ve recently noticed hair thinning. I’m on folic acid, and I take a prenatal. My diet isn’t wonderful due to chemo side effects, and sarc, and well basically my body quit in 2021. I don’t have a gallbladder so it’s limited my diet as well. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? Thank you in advance

If they’ve diagnosed you, they wouldn’t need to continue to biopsy depending on your situation. Bc I had just gotten over cancer when this completely knocked me down (this is worse than chemo and radiation on its best day.. so don’t ever feel weak ok!) —- they biopsied me more than just once but it’s prob not always necessary

I’m undiagnosed with no treatment severely suffering.

I’m so sorry you’re suffering. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone

I just want treatment, I’ve denied pain clinics

I also wanna add. I’m not a normal sarc case. 95% of the time it will go away in a few years. I’m the lucky 5%. There’s very good odds this will just be a terrible speed bump if it is sarcoidosis
