Sarcoidosis is caused a result of the immune system's response to an invasion of foreign substances in the body. The foreign substances can be dust particles inhaled through air, bacteria, virus or any chemicals. An inflammatory disease, sarcoidosis causes organ inflammation and the development of inflammatory cells or granulomas in different organs of the body. The granulomas, which are abnormal nodules or masses, affect the function and normal structure of the organs that have been affected by sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis commonly affects the lymph nodes, eyes, skin, liver, spleen, brain, lungs, and heart. Sarcoidosis symptoms and signs depend on the affected organ. There has been no definite cure for this disease. However, it has been observed that in most cases of sarcoidosis, the granulomas go away on their own with little to no treatment at all. But in a few rare cases, sarcoidosis can last for a lifetime causing damage to the affected organ. Sarcoidosis symptoms and signs may develop slowly and last longer, or they may appear instantly and disappear as well. The symptoms of this disease usually affect people in the age group 20-40 years. There have been cases where the affected person does not experience any sarcoidosis symptoms and signs, and the disease is diagnosed after a chest X-ray is done. Here are a few obvious sarcoidosis symptoms and signs:

• General symptoms: These include a persistent feeling of fatigue, fever, joint pain, sudden weight loss, dry mouth, nosebleeds, and swelling of lymph nodes and stomach.
• Lung symptoms: These include occasional chest pain (especially around the breastbone), wheezing, shortness of breath and a consistent dry cough. These symptoms are often experienced by people affected by sarcoidosis.
• Skin symptoms: A red rash or reddish-purple bumps may develop on the shins or over the ankles. These bumps and rashes are tender and warm to touch. Lesions or sores may appear on the cheeks, nose, and ears. Some areas of skin may become darker or lighter. Nodules may appear around tattoos and scars.
• Eye symptoms: Often sarcoidosis affects the eyes without any visible symptoms or signs. This makes it essential to have the eyes checked whenever sarcoidosis attacks the body. In certain cases, eye symptoms may become apparent. The symptoms include severe redness of the eyes, sensitivity to light, blurry vision, and pain around the eyes.
• Heart symptoms: Some people have cardiac sarcoidosis. It affects the heart and causes symptoms such as fainting, shortness of breath, fatigue, irregular heartbeats, palpitations, and edema.

Home heating prices vary by region and is also a lot dependant on the type of home, the requirements to be met and budget in hand for installing or redoing the existing system and its future maintenance. The market does offer a plethora of options to choose from. There is always a DIY up for grabs, which would cost anywhere between $1500-2500 including an efficient thermostat system for $200. Geothermal home heating systems seem to be the most expensive of the lot, costing anywhere between $20,000 to $25,000 just to install it. However, this system has been receiving ` raving reviews, making several Americans to turn their attention towards it. While we always look at the price of the system as such, do we even bother to work on the maintenance cost just to keep the system running? The following statistics from Energy Information Administration (EIA), will indeed throw some light on this aspect: Heating Oil $2800 Oil prices have risen so high that oil heat, once competitive with other major home-heating fuels, has become the most expensive to use. Prices are tied to world events, so they can change quickly. Nationally, only about 6 percent of homeowners use oil as their primary home heating source and they are predominantly from the northeast part of the country. Propane $2200 Although it's a relatively clean fuel, propane is expensive and has been losing popularity for years. The cost varies a lot by region. In the Midwest, heating a home with propane costs an average of only $1,534. Electricity $1400 The use of electric heat is on the rise, even in the frosty Northeast. Cost is the main draw, although some homeowners complain that electric heat isn't as efficient as other fuels. Nationally, about a third of the country rely on electricity as their primary heating source. Natural Gas $1000 Of the four main fuels used to heat our homes, natural gas is the most popular and now the cheapest, as well. A decade ago, gas cost about 80 percent of an equivalent amount of oil; it now costs less than half of oil, as oil prices have risen and the countries boom in natural gas drilling has kept gas prices low. Nearly half of all homes use natural gas as their primary heating source. Some analysts forecast a huge supply of the fuel will be available for decades to come. However, not everyone believes the supply is so large that natural gas will continue to be a low-cost fuel. Now that the cost to run your heating system is blatantly revealed, work your math and save up some money!

Chronic or constant headaches which occur for more than fifteen days in a month, and last for more than three consecutive months. These can happen in continuous patterns or intermittently. Chronic headaches can become a cause of concern when they start to interrupt your routine life. Typically there are four primary causes of constant headaches

• Migraine
• Tension headaches
• Hemicrania Continua
• New daily persistent headache

Common causes of constant headaches

• Migraine A chronic form of migraine cause discomfort to an individual for more than eight days in a month, for at least three months. Migraines can affect one or both sides of your head, and the pain can range from the scale of moderate to severe. Usually, they are triggered by daily physical activity which can lead to an aching and pulsating feeling in the head. Migraines can make one hypersensitive to lights and usual sounds and also cause queasiness. At times the overuse of medications to gain relief from a migraine can backfire and cause a rebound leading to chronic pain.
• Tension headaches Also known as a stress headache, tension headaches usually trigger discomfort in both sides of the brain. Unlike a chronic migraine, this type of a constant headache causes sensations of tightness around the head. Some of the common triggers for a tension headache are mental stress, sinus infection, tiredness, alcohol and smoking, straining the eyes for prolonged periods, lousy posture, seasonal cold or flu.

Rare causes of constant headaches

• New daily persistent headache This type of chronic pain is observed in people without any headache history. Since there are no prior incidences of headaches, most patients are able to remember the exact time of its onset. It has a combination of symptoms which are similar to tension headaches and migraine. However, it is not triggered by everyday physical activities.
• Hemicrania continua A type of primary headache disorder, it only causes pain on one side of the brain. There are moderate or severe episodes of pain on a daily basis. Hemicrania continua can cause watery eyes, inflammation in the eye situated on the side of the affected area, congestion in the nose, restlessness, runny nose, droopy eyelids, etc.

Some of the other uncommon causes of constant headaches are traumatic injuries, brain tumor, infections, issues with the blood vessels situated in the brain, excessive or little intracranial pressure, etc. If you identify with the causes of constant headaches above then immediately seek medical assistance, especially if you sense that you have to use OTC painkillers to alleviate the symptoms persistently. With an accurate diagnosis, you can take effective steps to manage the discomfort.
