My brother had this too. When my mother gave birth to him we notice that he has a lot of brown birthmarks in his whole body (like he is a dalmatian) so that was first symptoms then he has learning difficulties. And he was also diagnosed with severe Levoscoliosis which make him unable to sit for a long time. Sleeping is also difficult because he has to change position every 2-3hours. Operating his spine might took his life so we decided that we have to just let him enjoy his life. I just hope to those sufferers that, your family loves you and they will be there for you always. Im praying for you guys.

I didn't know that I had nuerofibromatosis type1 until I was pregnant with my 1st born son. I have had severe medical problems that there's no cure for any of my disorders. Nuerofibromatosis type1 has caused me too many medical problems. My DNA doesn't respond to majority of most medications. I also have had pulmonary problems, liver problems, incurable and intractable pain. Anxiety attacks, severe uncontrable twitching and tremors and seizures due to nuerofibromatosis type1 I'm 61 and they still continue to grow. Had 1 tumor removed from my bottom side and it think if grew back.

Hi! So Koselgo which is for the plexiform type tumours and the other one that are lumps. Sadly I have an optic tumor so I can’t koselgo because it won’t help. The problem is that koselgo has many side effects. I hope they improve it and make it usable for both types of tumors

I myself a 34 year old male who is living with NF1 was only given 10 years to live granted I have other neurological disorders and other diseases such as hydrocephalus which is known as water on the brain granted I've had 40 brain surgeries do to this disease do to the Nora fibroma that's in the cerebral cortex of my brain it is a beautiful disease a life inspection C does not determine someone's Fate by a doctor because 10 years old is a long way away from 34 years old that was 24 years ago and I'm still alive still taking granted I have seen the light and felt the pain I'm still here that was only on the table during brain surgery nothing to do with the neurofibromatosis type 1 anyone who keeps a positive attitude can beat this disease
Glad to have videos like this to educate others

Could you imagine having not just a very severe case of NF-1 but ALSO be so unfortunate to be afflicted with another extremely rare condition called Proteus Syndrome that literally only affects 1 in 1 MILLION! This was the case with Joseph Merrick aka the infamous “Elephant Man”. He was probably one of the only people in history to inherit BOTH extremely rare conditions. This is why his symptoms were so rare and tragically so grotesque. This is because the symptoms that came with having NF-1 exasperated the symptoms that came with having Proteus Syndrome and vice versa. So, the cauliflower like skin condition that came his Proteus was made many times more horrific because the NF-1 then began to produce large tumors within the nerves of that skin causing him to have horrible cauliflower like, tumor filled growths all over his skin, essentially having both conditions ravage his epidermis. The same went for his bone structure and tissue. His grotesque deformities from Proteus were amplified and exaggerated by his NF-1. To top it off, he had a hip ailment that made his hip None of us could ever imagine let alone comprehend the pain and suffering that was bestowed upon him and the life of solitude and depression it forced him to live. There wasn’t a single documented case of someone having both conditions simultaneously before The Elephant Man and there hasn’t been one since, the odds are so incredibly rare.
I also have neurofibromatosis. Thanks for this.

Do you live in Japan? I’m asking because my family and I are planning to move there. And we are looking for a pediatric NF clinic.
Most docs even the "specialists" mentioned know little or nothing about NF.My neurologist said he had 6 patients,including myself, in a 30 year career on two coasts,that had NF. He at least knew the basics.So many know nothing
I only have two, one in each of my forearms. They’re pretty small and, while the pain comes and goes, it’s not bad enough for me to get them removed
Well, all my life, I felt outcasted, alone, and misunderstood. It is rare to find someone who knows about this condition. My parents were really supportive, but I've always felt like a burden to them...I didn't know there were support groups. I don't think there is in my country, anyway. I wish I could talk to someone who has it. At least, to have someone who can hear me without looking with pity, who could share some concerns, fears, or doubts, to feel supported, at least...People don't get it, and, usually, they say that when I am not at my best I use this condition as an excuse :(. Thank you for taking the time to do such a good resume of NF1...having it sucks, it really, really sucks...I hate it :(

Hi, my name is Davide I'm from Rome, I am diagnosed with nf1, I had café au lait and freckles in groin when I was a kid, lots of problems in school(narcolepsy, adhd...) I developed then those tumors. This gave me lots of problems finding a job, I a have been looked at like a leper, someone who shouldn't work for them because "what if you get sick?" and stuff, I felt pretty useless. While recently my father got a glioblastoma grade 4 diagnosis this month and I know I could risk it as part of this disease, I am scared of having a child in the near future and cursing him with something like I have and might degenerate in nf2, I always feel the urge to not let people see "the bumps" I have like on the back.

But it’s nice to know I’m not alone, and that, even though he is alone with having this, I hope I can do right by him to help support him, in his life, my son name is Ryan with a sweet boy. I love him very much. We are all beautiful within our heart and soul. In F1, we can be survivors, I know that my son will, my children’s father has dealt with having enough one, he has, finger, visual impairment, and scoliosis, I believe, he does have multiple disabilities, therefore, he lives in a supportive living, Drew, Westside, original Center, referring to my children’s father, in with my phone in Harry, the NF, one, neurofibromatosis.

I have NF but don't know is it NF1,NF2 or NF3..I have six tumors in my body..one is newly appeared on face..
Im happy that I was diagnosed very early (about 10years) but my grandfather was diagnosed only when he was old. Of course he had his bad lumps removed but it was still not a diagnosis. He has had many bigger lumps in hard spots. Luckily removed sucksesfully. Nlw he has marks of cancer treated but Im not too worried. I dont have many lumps just one on my neck and small on the side. I dont have many problems with learning or eysight, I have never even broken a bone. Only problem to me is that sometimes I get tired and its not normal, I get reeeally tired. One time I didnt have to do homework becourse of it
Awesome

Childhood Tumour Trust wont be producing one on NF2 as it is a charity for NF1, however it would be a good idea if it was done by somebody.

i also have NF1 and I feel the same type of pain, in my whole body. My doctor said it might be neurophatic pain, the lumps are compressing the nerves and causing this sharp pain. He recommended me medication made from cannabis to control the pain

I was diagnosed with nf1 DNA test, but I have none of these symptoms, only small (internal) fibroids on the spine......
I have NF1 too
I have a Neurofibromatosis type one . I had a tumor removed back in 2007 . Since then the back of my neck where I got it removed is showing signs it is slowly coming back . The biggest challenge was the awful leaning disability I have. At the time I was working it would affect my work.

Not many people know this about me, but I was born with this birth defect. It was inherited from my father. I do indeed have ADHD and a learning disability although I have amazingly overcome those difficulties. I'm very fortunate in that my NF1 is very mild. I many friends who have it to disfiguring levels. Also have friends who have an NF2 which is a much more serious condition. The only reason why I share this is I ran across the video on KZread. I guess we all have our Oddities. I was only five years old when I was diagnosed. Way back then there wasn't much know about NF. While there's much more known now I still find it difficult Define a neurologist who understands the condition and can address my concerns. I certainly hope in the future this changes for the younger generation
