Sarc Fighter: Living with Sarcoidosis and other rare diseases
Health & Fitness:Medicine
Janet Mockovciak is in her 60's but she may have been fighting Sarcoidosis since she was a teenager! Janet has been an active outdoor person having traveled to Africa to follow gorillas, and Patagonia where she participated in all kinds of outdoor adventures. She will talk about how sarcoidosis has forced her to curtail her explorations -- and made her adopt a new normal. But she isn't giving up! At the end of the recent ski season, she took to the slopes with an oxygen tank in her backpack. Go Janet!
Janet is a fellow member of the Patient Advisory Council for the Foundation for Sarcoidosis research. As such she is helping to bring the patient voice to the Foundation to help ensure that our voice as patients is heard and acted upon by those on the front lines of fighting the disease.
Don't forget the upcoming FSR Summit on June 12 &13, 2021. Here is a link to sign up.

I recently moderated a conversation for FSR about dealing with prednisone. Almost all of us have dealt with it at one point or another. One doctor on the panel even called it, "poison."
