I think I have Sarcoidosis and I am petrified.

I have a tattoo that I've had for 5 years. It has a few rough areas feels like goosebumps and 1 or 2 pimple type lumps. I suffer health anxiety as it is along with migraines and in the last year sinus issues, I've done some research and I believe I have Sarcoidosis I am 32 years old and have 3 beautiful children. Can anybody give advise on sarcodiosis please I am seeing my gp tomorrow but because I have health anxiety its likely they'll state that it's all in my head like they usually do. I'm petrified.

Anxiety is a terrible thing! And I know telling you not to worry is unlikely to stop your worrying. My GP mentioned that she thinks I may have sarcoidosis. It is usually a very mild disease and quite treatable. Take care.
