I was hospitalized back in May of this year for a few weeks. After a neck lymphnoid biopsy I was diagnosed with sinus histiocytosis. While in the hospital my body started shutting down I ended up in intubation on life support for a week. I see a oncologist hematologist a primary care doct and a gasternologist. Right now they have me on prednisone and a up keep antibiotic to take every other day. My oncologist Is probably going to be switching me he said to a auto immune drug but he didn't say what kind. I still get swollen lymphnoids I have muscle pain everyday. I'm even loosing my hair sadly. I also work but only part time since I got sick I also have 4 young children so I know how hard it is living with this rare condition. Especially when everyone tells you they don't know enough about it or they can't help. It's hard and stressful.

Welcome @lilrush. I'm tagging @eal to make sure your message to them is seen. Your situation is remarkably similar.

I can't imagine working part time with 4 children and managing sinus histiocytosis. This is all relatively new for you. Were you experiencing symptoms long before you were finally diagnosed? What accommodations have you made in your daily routine that help?
