Sarcoidosis and tb are both different diseases, but many times present with similar type of symptoms, so doctor is not clearly able to tell which one is causing problem, and the patient may have to be given treatment for both. Tb is treated with anti tb medicine, in this one of medicine is rcinex. Sarcoidosis is treated with corticosteriods. Treatment of tb is given usually for 6-8 months, whereas, sarcoidosis may require treatment for much long duration some times 2-3 years also. 107 kgs weight is more for your height of 162.5 cm mentioned. You should also go for weight management and life style changes, because overweight may lead to further problems in future. You may discuss with your doctor, for stopping anti tb medicine now, as you have taken it for 1 year now.
