Mastocysis
I bet almost none of you have heard of this disease. And until a few days ago neither did I. My baby brother Z.Z was diagnosed with it. It means that your body has too many mast cells which are made in your bone marrow. And your mast cells produse histamean so he has too much histamean in his body. And incase you don't know what histameane is it it what your body makes when yourr are stung by a insect or anything else that makes you swell. So his body has too much now and if his body makes much more he COULD pass out and stop breathing. So he needs to take claritin and has to carry an epi pen everywhere he goes. We still are doing LOTS and LOTS of tests on him but we are getting closer to the answer. Here is the link to his caring bridge site.
