Hi Sandrapez just like to welcome you to the forum.

Sorry I haven't heard of Pulmonary Langerhans but I'm sure some of our members have and will be able to help you.

I wish you well.

Nice to see you and welcome. I have heard of PLH but know nothing about it so can't help.

I hope you will get some replies soon. Take care xxxxx

Welcome to this brilliant forum. I believe there are some members with your disease. Certainly not common. Join the Zebra Club of unusual/rare diseases. Doctors, GPs anyway, will not know a lot about them, but if they are confident and open-minded then they will know that patients will be well-informed and will listen to us. Unfortunately ----simply because of the small numbers of patients ---- research is sparse, and it is difficult to get large enough cohorts of sufferers to get clear statistics.

All the best
