Sarcoidosis

My father (50) has been diagonalized with sarcoidosis and has been treated with Wysolone since 2005.the doses have varied since inception of the treatment i.e. 50 mg to 20 mg. He also has high blood bressure and has been taking Stamlo 5 simultaneously. Kindly suggest if there is any alternate milder and effective treatment for Sarcoidosis as there have been lots of side effects of wysolone which include weight gain, skin darkening, altering moods, pressure on kidney's(there has been considerable swelling in his legs, on & off) and i havnt seen much improvement in his condition.He leads a very stressful work life. Also kindly educate me about any lifestyle changes required.
