Why am I so depressed?
All day I have felt guilty, depressed, sad, etc. But why??
I was looking up some info on my Dad's disease, sarcoidosis, and I found this:
Patients are only treated with steroids when the problems caused by sarcoidosis are particularly serious. Many cases of sarcoidosis resolve without treatment.
The doctor has dad on steroids...
About 60-70% of the time, sarcoidosis cures itself within a year or two. In about 20-30% of patients, permanent damage occurs to the lungs. About 15-20% of all patients go on to develop a chronic, relapsing form of sarcoidosis. Death can be blamed on sarcoidosis in about 10% of all sarcoidosis cases.
My dad's sardo is in his lungs and glands...=*( This can't be good.
What if my dad dies within a few years?
*sigh*
I don't want to outlive ANYONE. It causes me too much pain. >.< I dont want to turn 16.
