Team Inspire is wearing orange today for 🧡

1 in 6 people are living with infertility and too many of them are doing it in silence, feeling like they have to carry that weight alone. This National Infertility Awareness Week, we want to say clearly: you don't have to.

Tip #3 from Dr. Raj: methotrexate is doing a lot of heavy lifting- make sure you're monitoring it. 👀

It's one of the most commonly used medications in sarcoidosis treatment, and it works but it needs to be watched. Dr. Raj is walking us through what medication monitoring actually looks like and why it matters for your long-term health.

Inspire was built because we know the importance of finding people who not just see your experience but understand it. We were thrilled to join the Spoonly podcast to talk about why community is important and how critical it is for people to find a space where they can find connection and be understood.

Give the episode a listen wherever you get your podcasts. 💙

Did you know 1 in 6 people of reproductive age will experience infertility? And it's more than just women. While infertility is often thought of as a women's issue, infertility can stem from both partners at equal rates, and it's no one's fault.

Infertility is a medical condition, not a personal failure — but the stigma around it can make it feel otherwise. Too many people suffer in silence, convinced their struggle is something to hide. It isn't. And the more we talk about it, the easier it becomes for others to ask for the support they need.

This National Infertility Awareness Week, we're here to remind you, you're not alone. No matter where you are on your journey, we have a community here to support you. Our Infertility Support Community, partnered with RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association is here for you to connect with others who truly understand what you're going through.

Tip #2 from Dr. Raj: biologics are powerful. But first — have you been screened for latent TB? 👀

Biologics can be a game-changer for sarcoidosis treatment — but before starting, checking for latent tuberculosis is a critical step that doesn't always make it into the conversation. Dr. Raj is breaking down why it matters and what to ask your doctor.

Have more questions about biologics, treatment options, or anything sarcoidosis-related? Dr. Raj is on Inspire answering your questions now through April 22 in partnership with the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research.

Tip #1 from Dr. Raj: let's talk steroids. 💊

Long-term steroid use is super common in sarcoidosis treatment — but the side effects can be less than pleasant, and one of the best things you can do is stay informed so you can advocate for yourself at your next appointment.

If you're living with sarcoidosis, we have an Ask the Expert just for you. In partnership with the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research, Dr. Raj is on Inspire answering your questions now through April 22. No question is too small — ask yours today: https://www.inspire.com/groups/stop-sarcoidosis/discussion/000450-ask-the-expert-event-with-dr-raj-living-with-sarcoidosis-april-20-22/

Some symptoms are easy to brush off. A stuffy nose that won't clear. A sore in your mouth that lingers. A lump you notice when you're getting dressed. But when these things persist, they're worth paying attention to.

And if you or someone you love is navigating a Head & Neck cancer, you don't have to go through it alone.

April is — a month to highlight the ways our healthcare system still has work to do in providing equitable care for all. Your health outcomes shouldn't depend on your zip code, your skin color, or who you are. But for millions of Americans, they still do.

Inspire is proud to be a space where anyone can find community across thousands of health conditions to talk not just about their diagnosis, but about every step of the journey: navigating care, finding treatment, and knowing they're not alone in it.

No matter who you are or where you're starting from, there's a place for you here. 💙
