I know 3 good ones at Penn state medical. They have offices in hershey and Middletown. I can private message you if you like. Hang in there. It does get better. Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk

Depending on which autoimmune it can be very tricky. I have sarcoidosis, my mom has Lupus, my aunt MS. For sarcoidosis non-caseating granulomas on Lymph nodes is the key. The problem lies in that the only way to tell if that is present is through biospy. I had to be out under to get a Endobronchial ultrasound-guided biopsy. The other issue is that just being sick often causes swollen Lymph nodes. The swollen lymph nodes did show up on my cat scan and partially on the X-ray. My cousin's case is rare because sarcoidosis doesn't usually go to heart. His lymph nodes were not super swollen. The massive inflammation in his heart did not show up on CAT scan at all. As he started deteriorating over months they did a normal 24 hr fasting PET. He was lucky a keen eyed radiologist spotted something barely. Normally you need at least a 48-72hr fasting PET for it to show up well. Lupus took a year of all kinds of doctors and testing. It wasn't caught till it expressed itself in a rash that would not go away and my mom's dermatologist was able to do a punch biopsy and use Direct Immunofluorescence to confirm it. I wish well. Your story just brought back memories of myself and family members dealing illnesses that were extremely frustrating and felt all encompassing. The imaging and biospy were just one part of the dx. I also have extended family members with uveitis, Sjögren’s, colitis, Crohn's. All of them were literal hell to get to bottom of. Hope you feel better Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

This sounds eerily similar to inflammation of the heart due to sarcoidosis or another autoimmune. My cousin went through this. The testing for it is a 48-72 hour fasting PET scan to put body into ketosis so when they inject the sugar rich dye the inflammation shows up well.

Have things improved health wise for you and your extended family? Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I'll bite. I think our area can handle that over 10 days without too many issues. Do some nice work on the drought Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I will say as a 15 year + plus kid I loved going down south to my cousins. My cousin was closest thing to a genius I ever knew who actually seemed kinda normal. Kid got 1 wrong on SAT and ended up valedictorian at the Air Force academy. In high school him his dad loved making rockets and I do mean big big rockets. Richmond that is dad's in all came into having some of the most ridiculous high octane fuels in explosive chemicals I ever saw in person. We had fun pouring lots of fun stuff down fire ant colonies while combining dynamite and other explosives in chain reaction. It was all good until we were a bit too daring and ended up with a massive crater is Dad put at 300 to 500 lb of TNT power to make. So we next switch to point Moulton Meadows down and making casts out of them which was even cooler if I have to say. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Doesn't look too bad smoke wise Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I figured. My daughter has asthma and allergies have usually been the starting point for ammonia or bronchitis in the spring and summer. Now I'm trying to help my mom who was just diagnosed with lupus. I've had sarcoidosis for years so I know the crap autoimmune can put a body through. Hope you feel better soon.

How has your recovery been? Have allergies complicated it at all? Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk

I bit the bullet this winter and spent 5-6 hours mostly through youtube videos learning the basics so that soundings and skew charts don't look totally foreign to me. I am absolutely amazed at just how much information gets packed into those sounding/skew images that metrologist post on social media. Now I'm trying to dig into all mesoanaylais abbreviations one finds on the soundings, teach myself what exactly it's measuring, why it's being measured, how it interacts with other meso indices, how it's displayed on the nws mesoanaylais maps, that many times like to display many indices at once on the same map. I would pay a nice amount for software similar to space engine/Microsoft flight simulator, that allows you to play around and learn about weather through interactive 3D simulation. Be able to tweak the soundings as well as the low strengths at different levels, moisture, basically everything you can see on a meso map and let the statistical model make an approximation. Have past major weather events simulated so one can explore them from start to finish. Best hope I probably have at ever seeing anything close to that would probably be some add on to new Microsoft flight simulator 2024 since it already has live weather integration. My one friend has invested many thousands in his simulator setup over the years and the graphics on this new version are amazing. Just all overkill for weather only.
