I am being treated for liver sarcoidosis. My ACE levels were initially very high, and I was on steroids (5 mg) for 2 years. For the past 3 years, I have been taking HCQS and my ACE levels were within normal limits. Now my ACE level has increased to 107. What is the long-term solution for managing my condition?
