Sarcoidosis, according to the American Lung Association, is an inflammatory disease where the immune system overreacts.
PUBLISHED 5:09 PM CDT May 25, 2023FORT WORTH, Texas — It’s a rare disease with a name some will struggle to pronounce, sarcoidosis, but the day Rachella Parks-Washington first heard it for herself was the day much of her life changed.
“I learned to improvise in church,” said Parks-Washington as she practiced her saxophone in a Fort Worth studio. Panic attacks that just kept happening, and that the performer couldn’t simply accept as a part of her life. So, Parks-Washington said she kept digging, kept going to different doctors until about 2000 when she said one finally found an abnormality in her: lymph node swelling under her arms that were spreading. She said they biopsied the growths, concerned it was cancer, but what she got was both a relief and a whole additional concern.
