This is something you were born with. It's also called Von Recklinghausen's disease and is where tiny bengn, non spreading, tumors form on the periphal nerves. When I was 15 I found out I had it, it sucks, but I deal with it the best I can. So far I've had two surgery's. My first one was a minor one I was able to go home right after it and then my second one was a major one, I had to stay in the hospital for almost a week. I'm 23 now. |
