Neurofibromatosis ever heard of it? - March 3rd 2010, 07:13 PM

Has anyone here ever heard of Neurofibromatosis? (NF for short) does anyone here besides me have Neurofibromatosis?
For those o you who don’t know what Neurofibromatosis is here is some info on it and just a little FYI there are three types of Neurofibromatosis
Neurofibromatosis Type one (which I have) Neurofibromatosis Type two and Schwannomatosis

Here is the info on NF type one: Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1): also known as von Recklinghausen NF or Peripheral NF. Occurring in 1:3,000 births, web characterized by multiple cafe-au-lait spots and neurofibromas on or under the skin. Enlargement and deformation of bones and curvature of the spine (scoliosis) may also occur. Occasionally, tumors may develop in the brain, on cranial nerves, or on the spinal cord. About 50% of people with NF also have learning disabilities.

P.S if you want to learn more or know more about NF go to www.ctf.org


You can call me Ashley,Delilah or BabyGirl. Just don't call me late for dinner

I have Neurofibromatosis, Neurofibromatosis does not have me.

Hmm, while I don't have this myself, I have heard of it and know someone with it.
Thanks for posting this, as this isn't something many people know about.

I don't have this myself, but I have heard of NF. I can't say I have ever met anybody with it, either. I have briefly looked into it before, but I still know very little. I'll definitely take a look at it, it's something I would like to learn more about!
Thank you for posting this. Feel free to PM me if you ever need anything!
