Guest Blog Submission

For many people, their journey with sarcoidosis is long and complicated. Deciding to tell that story can help others with this devastating disease realize they are not alone in their experiences.

 

When writing a long format blog, here are some guidelines we recommend sticking with to ensure your story gets approved for our website:

  • For the most part, keep posts between 500-1000 words.
  • Respect the privacy of others in your story. Don’t share details they have not given you permission to share.
  • Keep a positive outlook in your story. While sarc warriors face their fair share of challenges, try to make this post an outlet for positive thinking and sharing good intentions. Make your goal to help or inspire others going through tough times.  
  • Use respectful language and try to avoid criticism of others. 
  • Please provide sources for any scientific or statistical facts that you include in your post.
  • There is currently no accepted cure for sarcoidosis within the scientific community. Because of our commitment to providing patients with accurate and safe information, any references to therapies or protocols that claim to cure sarcoidosis with no scientific evidence will not be published. Additionally, any misinformation- including statements with strong language or sweeping generalizations- will not be published. FSR is committed to providing our patients with only evidence-based information.
