Good morning, Savannah. Sorry I can't help you about your condition PLCH, but I'm sure not smoking is helping you get the best chance with what you've got. Best wishes, M.

Hi, Pulmonary Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis is a fairly rare condition so obtaining an accurate diagnosis is a positive step. Stay away from the cigarettes as much as you can because they will only make things worse. Sorry I cannot help in regards to the pain.
