Sarah Bishop is busier than most people.  She is an ambitious runner, she is a police detective, and she loves the outdoors in New Zealand.  But she started having trouble doing even normal things.  She would get so tired and out of breath that her basic activity was nerly down to nothing.  But nobody could figure out what was wrong with her.  Sound familiar?  It was sarcoidosis.  Sarah heard the Sarc Fighter podcast and reached out saying she wanted to share her story in the hope that it would help other people.    Show Notes: FSR Virtual Support Group: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/fsr-sarcoidosis-support-group/ 2025 Awareness Month page: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/sarcoidosis-awareness-month/ Mindfulness & Meditation Wellness Webinar Series: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/wellness-webinar-series/   MORE FROM JOHN: Cycling with Sarcoidosis http://carlinthecyclist.com/category/cycling-with-sarcoidosis/ Do you like the official song for the Sarc Fighter podcast?  It's also an FSR fundraiser!

Bonus Episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast.  In this bonus episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast -- a reminder of the fantastic progress that has been made when it comes to making it possible for people to participate in clinical trials.  Thanks to the tireless work of the team at the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research and the support of Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and Boehringer-Ingelheim, it is now much easier to say "Yes" if you want to participate.  Thanks to their work, participation is now covered under FMLA - meaning you can take time off from work to go to the doctor or the clinic without fear of losing your job.  This is a huge win for researchers and all of us in the rare disease community.  Listen also as Sarc fighter Karen Colemen tells us how sarcoidosis has slowed her dancing.   Show notes: News Release on protection for clinical trial participants: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/11/16/2982368/0/en/Foundation-for-Sarcoidosis-Research-FSR-receives-confirmation-from-the-Department-of-Labor-DOL-ensuring-patient-access-to-FMLA-for-participation-in-clinical-trials.html   Watch the Externally-Led Patient Focused Discussion before the FDA: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/pfdd/ MORE FROM JOHN: Cycling with Sarcoidosis http://carlinthecyclist.com/category/cycling-with-sarcoidosis/ Biking 4 Boomers on Tic Tok. https://www.tiktok.com/@biking.4.boomers Do you like the official song for the Sarc Fighter podcast?  It's also an FSR fundraiser!

Despite high hopes and promise from the drug Namilumab, Kinevant Sciences is reporting that the drug was not effective in treating Sarcoidosis.  A well executed clinical trail showed that the drug simply didn't make a difference for sarcoidosis patients.  In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, two of the leaders at Kinevant join me to talk about the results of the clinical trial and to look at what science learned from the study.  Also joining me is FSR CEO Mary McGowan who helps shape the perspective of the outcome and to help us understand that while Namilumab did not turn out to be the drug we hoped, there is still a path forward in the fight against Sarcoidosis. Also have you seen the new Netflix mini-series in which one of the characters has Sarcoidosis called No Good Deed?  I have.  And I'll tell you what you need to know, without any spoilers. #sarcoidosis #namilumab #kinevant #sarcoidosisawareness #NoGoodDeed     Show Notes: News Release from Kinevant: https://investor.roivant.com/news-releases/news-release-details/roivant-announces-topline-results-phase-2-resolve-lung-study Watch the Externally-Led Patient Focused Discussion before the FDA: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/pfdd/ MORE FROM JOHN: Cycling with Sarcoidosis http://carlinthecyclist.com/category/cycling-with-sarcoidosis/ Biking 4 Boomers on Tic Tok. https://www.tiktok.com/@biking.4.boomers Do you like the official song for the Sarc Fighter podcast?  It's also an FSR fundraiser!

In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast I share a new study from Japan that compared people with systemic cardiac sarcoidosis -- those people who have cardiac sarc as well as other organ involvement -- with those who have only cardiac involvement.  The research found that if you have it only in your heart it may actually be more serious.  Also, FSR just released information that will give you a sigh of relief if you want to participate in a clinical trial.   I also riff a bit about election night 2024, covering a Donald Trump rally, and a speech on the difficulty of sharing scientific data with the viewing public on TV news.   Show notes Sarcoidosis news report on cardiac sarcoidosis: https://sarcoidosisnews.com/news/poorer-outcomes-seen-isolated-cardiac-sarcoidosis/ Department of Labor and Clinical Trial participation: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/fsr-receives-confirmation-from-the-department-of-labor-ensuring-patient-access-to-fmla-for-participation-in-clinical-trials/ My story on the Trump Rally:https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2024/11/03/local-representatives-speak-at-trumps-rally-in-salem/ Watch the Externally-Led Patient Focused Discussion before the FDA: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/pfdd/ MORE FROM JOHN: Cycling with Sarcoidosis http://carlinthecyclist.com/category/cycling-with-sarcoidosis/ Biking 4 Boomers on Tic Tok. https://www.tiktok.com/@biking.4.boomers Do you like the official song for the Sarc Fighter podcast?  It's also an FSR fundraiser!

Dr. Kamal Bharucha is a Pediatrician-Scientist, Clinical Development Leader and Biotech Startup Advisor in the rare disease space.  And suddenly he found himself dealing with a rare disease - sarcoidosis.  He says he was feeling fine and went for a routine check-up and discovered everything was far from fine.  Dr. Bharucha describes his journey through diagnosis and discovery as he fights back against the disease.  But what does a researcher do when presented with something like this?  They present a poster to colleagues urging them to consider pushing the use of heart rate monitors in more people -- so heart issues become apparent much sooner!

Zombie is the theme song for the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast.  If you listen, you know.  Shortly after I launched the podcast Mark Steier e-mailed me to say he had sarcoidosis and had written and recorded a song about it.  I didn't expect much.  But the song blew me away, and Mark quickly agreed to allow me to use it as the theme song.  You've been hearing it ever since.  Meanwhile Mark's health has been up and down, sometimes seriously down.  And -- his wife and caregiver Caeleigh, is now stepping up and running the New York City Marathon as an official FSR fundraiser.  So she also joins me today. In addition, podcast "regular" Royce Robertson met me on a bicycling journey across New York State, where I interviewed him about his health and his own fundraising effort through cycle4sarc.

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.     Show Notes: More on aTyr Pharma: https://atyrpharma.com/ Participate in the aTyr Clinical Trial: https://bit.ly/3EUOxNq More on the Efzofitimod study: https://sarcoidosisnews.com/news/benefits-seen-efzofitimod-pulmonary-sarcoidosis-treatment-trial/ FSR awards $100,000 in Grants: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/fsr-awards-100000-in-support-of-cardiac-sarcoidosis/ More on ACE test to determine multiple organ involvement of Sarcoidosis: https://sarcoidosisnews.com/news/biomarker-detects-multiple-organ-involvement-sarcoidosis-diagnosis/ The Freakonomics Podcast: https://freakonomics.com/podcasts/ No Stupid Questions Podcast about the Zeigarnic Effect: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/do-you-need-closure/ More about the Zeigarnic effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeigarnik_effect Help FSR further its mission by becoming an Alliance Volunteer:  www.stopsarcoidosis.org/gsca-leaders/ Become a community outreach leader: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/gsca-leaders/   MORE FROM JOHN: Cycling with Sarcoidosis http://carlinthecyclist.com/category/cycling-with-sarcoidosis/ Do you like the official song for the Sarc Fighter podcast?  It's also an FSR fundraiser!

John Mockovciak spends a lot of time helping his wife, Janet travel her sarcoidosis journey.  And for a couple who hike and ski and seek the lifestyle they've always wanted, it can be a lot of work for both of them.  Yet somehow they get down the mountains in the snow, and to the iconic places so many people want to visit.  But it takes a certain mindset and understanding, that John shares with listeners in this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast.   Show Notes: More on aTyr Pharma: https://atyrpharma.com/ Participate in the aTyr Clinical Trial: https://bit.ly/3EUOxNq More on the Efzofitimod study: https://sarcoidosisnews.com/news/benefits-seen-efzofitimod-pulmonary-sarcoidosis-treatment-trial/ Help FSR further its mission by becoming an Alliance Volunteer:  www.stopsarcoidosis.org/gsca-leaders/ Become a community outreach leader: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/gsca-leaders/ Episode 36 Janet Mockovciak: https://beatsarc.podbean.com/e/episode-36-sarc-fighter-janet-mockovciak-is-giving-it-her-all/   MORE FROM JOHN: Cycling with Sarcoidosis http://carlinthecyclist.com/category/cycling-with-sarcoidosis/ Do you like the official song for the Sarc Fighter podcast?  It's also an FSR fundraiser!

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.

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.   Show notes: More on aTyr Pharma: https://atyrpharma.com/ Participate in the aTyr Clinical Trial: https://bit.ly/3EUOxNq More on the Efzofitimod study: https://sarcoidosisnews.com/news/benefits-seen-efzofitimod-pulmonary-sarcoidosis-treatment-trial/ Tony Haskins KISS fundraiser https://stopsarcoidosis.rallybound.org/TonyHaskel?tab=Dashboard Royce's Cycle4Sarc page: https://stopsarcoidosis.rallybound.org/cycle4sarc?tab=Dashboard&fbclid=PAAaa9zWEjpGVyS1Q5Swa8mm5JT0t7JH13dfxVxdW1QlBMmbiRmc00Ol-uu-c Royce Robertsons original interview: https://beatsarc.podbean.com/e/episode-79a-royce-robertson-is-fighting-sarcoidosis-from-the-seat-of-his-bike/ Help FSR further its mission by becoming an Alliance Volunteer:  www.stopsarcoidosis.org/gsca-leaders/ Become a community outreach leader: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/gsca-leaders/ MORE FROM JOHN John's Border Coverage: https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2023/07/24/videos-day-1-on-the-frontline-with-john-carlin-at-the-us-mexico-border/ John Carlin's Outdoors: https://www.wsls.com/topic/John_Carlin%27s_Outdoors/ Cycling with Sarcoidosis http://carlinthecyclist.com/category/cycling-with-sarcoidosis/ Do you like the official song for the Sarc Fighter podcast?  It's also an FSR fundraiser!
